It is with sadness that we share the passing of Fr. Hilary Martin, O.P., Professor Emeritus of DSPT, who died peacefully at the age of 97. Fr. Hilary remained devoted to the mission of DSPT until the very end, recently expressing his hope to continue teaching in the coming year.

We give thanks for his many decades of scholarship, service, and unwavering dedication to our community.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.

We were glad to see Fr. Chris Renz, O.P., Professor of Liturgical Studies and Director of the Blackfriars Gallery & Library, speak at SF Art Forum on the Tree of Life in art and architecture. It was an evening full of insight into the theological language of sacred art from Genesis to the Cross.

Last Saturday, we celebrated the Class of 2026 🎓

“The Study of philosophy is not that we may know what men have thought, but what the truth of things is.” - St. Thomas Aquinas

Congratulations, graduates! May you carry what you’ve learned here into the world with wisdom and purpose.

DSPT needs your help!

We’ve been gifted an incredible collection of 50,000+ books to grow our theology library—but we need your help to make it possible.

We must raise $50,000 by the end of the month to create a temporary space to house them.

Every gift moves us closer to preserving these works and putting them into the hands of students and scholars
