As a final treat, we are pleased to publish last year’s Valedictory Address by Robbie B. Paraan, S.J., with the title “Theology of the Streets.” Loyola Papers joins him in congratulating the graduates of Batch 2020 and in calling on all LST students, past and present to be

“bold and creative with your theology. Our professors have given us the basics of our faith, the grammar and vocabulary to now speak—or even sing!—in tongues. It is not enough to give a good account of and to speak responsibly about our faith. We must mine the gifts of the Spirit to inspire others to believe.” – from the Associate Editor’s Preface
