UP In-Christ Thrust for University Students
History
UP ICTUS is a duly-recognized, non-stock, non-profit and socio-civic student organization of the University of the Philippines - Diliman, based on the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice Compound, UP Diliman. ICTUS is founded on December 8, 1981 by Dennis Arroyo and seven other friends. The organization is consecrated to Mary, our Mother, on December 8, 1982. We were among the ten finalists in the 2004 Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations (TAYO) in the NCR.
ICTUS is based on four thrusts:
SERVICE: is the offering of oneself to God through the things that we do. Wholeheartedly, ICTUSians offer themselves to their fellowmen by giving them the things that prove to be very essential and helpful to them.
TEACHING: is ICTUSians’ one way of showing their allegiance to God—as ICTUS believes in the importance of education. Not only do we help in academics but also in instilling in them values by incorporating the Word of God.
FELLOWSHIP: ICTUS prides in the strong bond between its members and with the people we interact with—especially the children. A true ICTUSian will offer everything within his or her means to better the people around him and his or her surroundings.
PRAYER: creates a deep relationship with God. Every ICTUSian yearns for that connection with God and so prayer is very essential in his or her life—believing that everything that we do is for Him and from Him.
With all these four thrusts, we work. We strive to work for God and be the children He wants us to become.
Nothing without faith, never without passion, all for Kuya Jess. <><
