On August 18-21, 2025, Providence University will proudly host the ASEACCU Conference, embracing the theme “Pilgrim of Hope – Spiritual Development and Action of Gen Z.” This theme places a spotlight on the unique role of Generation Z in shaping a hopeful future through personal spirituality, community engagement and social action. Providence University’s commitment to cultivating compassionate, altruistic, and service-minded students aligns with ASEACCU’s mission to deepen the connection between faith and service in Catholic higher education.
A Generation of Pilgrims of Hope
Gen Z stands at the crossroads of tradition and innovation, uniquely positioned to bring fresh perspectives to the Catholic community and beyond. At the 2025 ASEACCU Conference, participants will explore how Gen Z views life’s purpose and approaches spirituality as a foundation for action. This pilgrimage of hope challenges young people to integrate their spiritual growth into a journey that transforms personal beliefs into acts of service for others, fostering a community that values both love and humility. Rooted in the model of the Good Samaritan, Gen Z is encouraged to carry forward a commitment to the common good, living out their faith by responding to the needs of others.
Providence University: Living Out Virtue with Knowledge
As a Catholic institution dedicated to truth and knowledge, Providence University embraces holistic education, nurturing both the mind and spirit of each student. Guided by its motto, Virtus Cum Scientia— virtue with knowledge— the University cultivates a supportive environment where students grow as globally minded and compassionate citizens. Providence’s mission emphasizes that all learning must begin and center on love, echoing the words of Saint Mother Theodore Guerin: “Love the children first and then teach them.” With this ethos, Providence University dedicates itself to building leaders who serve with both conviction and empathy.
Providence University Campus: A Sanctuary of Peace and Reflection
Located in the serene Shalu District of Taichung, Taiwan, Providence University offers an ideal setting for reflection and growth. The quiet green campus with its unique Our Lady of Providence Chapel provides a sacred space for visitors to draw close to the divine. Each morning, the campus greets the sunrise, casting a tranquil glow, while in the evening, the golden light of sunset bathes the campus, creating an inspiring environment for contemplation. This peaceful backdrop will serve as a fitting venue for the 2025 conference, encouraging attendees to connect with their spirituality and the values of hope and service.
