“Knowledge is one thing,virtue is another; good sense is not conscience,refinement is not humility, nor is largeness and justness of view faith. Philosophy, however profound, gives no command of the passions, no influential motives, no vivifying principles. Liberal Education makes NOT the Christian nor the Catholic but the gentleman.”
― Saint John Henry Newman
​
​Our goal is to aid students in becoming Catholic Gentlewomen. and Gentlemen.
Through our distinguished educational speakers,  college students learn and discuss how faith and culture interfaces in their daily lives...on campus, at work, in their families, and in the diverse communities in which they will live and serve. ​
