Formation"God has created me to do some definite service. He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission. I am a link in a chain. A bond of connection between persons. I shall do good. I shall do His work."- St. John Henry Cardinal Newman

Human
Being a Christian is more than praying regularly and loving the faith. Christian maturity involves a well-ordered life, the ability to build healthy relationships, and both emotional and social maturity. At the Catholic Center, students have many opportunities to grow in Christian leadership and maturity, including social events, one-on-one meetings with staff, and service opportunities.
-
Spiritual
At the Catholic Center, we provide spiritual formation for students to help foster a deeper relationship with Christ and His Church. This formation is nurtured through a variety of activities, including daily Mass, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, daily Confession, retreats, and devotions such as the Liturgy of the Hours and the Rosary.

Evangelical
The Catechism of the Catholic Church describes evangelization as "a loving response to God's goodness to us, and we embrace it by way of a respectful dialogue." It is not enough to simply know and love God; a natural response to this love is to share it—and to share Him with others. At the Catholic Center, there are many opportunities for evangelical formation, including serving with the Missionaries of Charity, preparing dinner for ANEW Place, collecting food for Rally Cat’s Cupboard, participating in the March for Life, and engaging in OCIA.

Intellectual
Intellectual formation is essential in the life of a Catholic. At the Catholic Center, students have many opportunities to discover the richness and beauty of the Church’s teachings - and to share them with their peers. These opportunities include guest speakers, faculty gatherings, book clubs, and Bible studies.
