According to the Collegio's Statues,
The over-all objective of the College is
to provide the facilities and the environment
suited principally to Filipino diocesan priests
carefully chosen and formally sent by their Bishops
for the pursuit of higher studies
in ecclesiastical educational centers in Rome,
for their continuous priestly formation "sub umbra Petri"
and for their subsequent ministry back in the Homeland.
This over-all objective has evolved into a Vision-Mission statement:
A community of student-priests
animated by the Triune God,
consecrated to Mary, our model and Mother,
dedicated to integral formation
for the service of the Church in the Philippines
towards building up of the reign of God
in the third Millennium.
We, PCF Student-Priests, commit ourselves
-- to grow in intimacy with the Triune God through the sacraments especially the Eucharist, the Word of God, Prayer, Meditation and Devotion to Mother Mary and the Saints;
-- to enhance community life through fraternal charity, the cultivation of basic human values and faithful adherence to the rules and guidelines of the Pontificio Collegio Filippino;
-- to strive for academic excellence through discipline, sacrifice and hard work;
-- to minister to the Filipino migrant church with prudence and pastoral zeal.
We are, in effect, building a home for Filipino diocesan priests in Rome through a healthy balance of:
Community life
Academic work
Spiritual growth
Apostolic involvement.
