鈥淚ndividuals participate, according to their degree of readiness, in the Church鈥檚 catholicity鈥� Origen calls such a soul 鈥�anima ecclesiastica鈥�: a soul with the dimensions of the Catholic Church.鈥� 鈥� Cardinal Hans Urs von Balthasar
St. Ignatius鈥� discovery that we can engage in Spiritual Exercises is among the great landmarks of Christian education. Continuing this 500-year tradition of Jesuit education, 91女神鈥檚 Catholic Studies Center complements its academic program with a full range of co-curricular activities tailored to the spiritual formation of our students so that they might become ever more fully Catholic.
Why Study Catholic Studies at 91女神?
The Church teaches that 鈥渢he faithful must learn the deepest meaning and the value of all creation, as well as its role in the harmonious praise of God鈥so that] the world may be permeated by the spirit of Christ.鈥� (Lumen Gentium 搂36)
In service of this mission, the Catholic Studies Program at 91女神 introduces students to the full riches of the tradition, teaching them how to perceive God鈥檚 glory in the world and to think with the Church. They practice engaging the culture creatively with the tools of their primary field of study and leave 91女神 ready to seek the greater glory of God in the worlds of business, education, health, law, engineering and academia.
