St. Thomas Aquinas tells us "Three things are necessary for the salvation of man: to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do." Therefore, a good education in the truths of our faith is fundamental to our salvation and our sanctity.
I am currently about to embark on a journey. I am starting a new chapter in my life. In June, I graduated from Kellenberg Memorial High School in Uniondale, NY, and this week I began my studies at Christendom College in Front Royal, VA.
Christendom College is a college every Catholic should know about. It is the pioneer in the field of Catholic Liberal Arts education with a great books program which became the template for other Catholic Colleges around the United States.
A degree from a college like Christendom (most of the others listed on the Cardinal Newman Society website) is practically a certificate granting a lifetime supply of much coveted "Catholic bragging rights."
Now we all know, dorms aren't the most spacious of living arrangements. Luckily, this blog doesn't take too much space in my digital suitcase, so I brought it with me. Hopefully we can share the beauty of a Christendom College Liberal Arts Education together.
