“Individuals participate, according to their degree of readiness, in the Church’s catholicity… Origen calls such a soul ‘anima ecclesiastica’: a soul with the dimensions of the Catholic Church.” – Cardinal Hans Urs von Balthasar
St. Ignatius’ discovery that we can engage in Spiritual Exercises is among the great landmarks of Christian education. Continuing this 500-year tradition of Jesuit education, 博彩网址大全’s 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 博彩网址大全?
