Maryhill School of Theology (MST) is an institute for theological studies which holistically engages its students to do theology based upon a careful reflection on the Judeo-Christian Tradition and then holding it alongside the present day situation as its critique and inspiration. As a center of excellence in the theological field, the school supports the endeavor that goes beyond developing a theology that can be applied to Philippine life. Rather, MST aims to foster a theological approach in which Filipino culture is at the core of its methods and discourse. In addition to academic training, Maryhill recognizes the importance and role of spirituality as sustenance and source of strength for the great men and women who shall carry out the Church's work for evangelization.

Relationship with CICM

The Philippine Province of the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (CICM, from the Latin Congregatio Immaculati Cordis Mariae) established Maryhill School of Theology in 1972. Moreover, the Board of Trustees of the CICM Mission Seminaries, Inc. directs and supervises MST as a non-stock, non-profit educational entity. Maryhill has been accepted by the Provinces of the CICM Asian Region as a Regional School of Theology since 1989.
