The Collegium Center for Faith and Culture was established in response to the Church's call for "a new evangelization, new in ardor, methods, and expression." In the face of religious indifference and unbelief, the purpose of the Collegium Center is to lead people to a fresh encounter with Jesus Christ. This objective is achieved by instructing people in Catholic doctrine, nurturing their moral and spiritual formation, and advancing their human and cultural development. As individuals grow in Christian maturity, they in turn become a leaven of faith and hope in the community. Consequently, the Collegium Center will serve the Church by being a vital source of formation, evangelization and Christian witness for the benefit of men and women living in the world, especially the unchurched and uncatechized.

There is an urgent need today for Catholics to rise to their calling to sanctify the world and imbue it with the Spirit of Christ. In virtue of their Baptism and Confirmation lay men and women are called to bring the Gospel to every sector of social, cultural, and political life. In order to do this, they must understand and appropriate the truths and values of Christianity. Moreover, they must practice the Christian virtues so as to be authentic witnesses of Jesus in the secular domain. The mission of the Collegium Center for Faith and Culture is to form and prepare Christians to take their rightful place in the Church's new evangelization.

Specifically, the Collegium Center will offer:

  • INTELLECTUAL FORMATION
