by sharing the riches of our Catholic heritage
our mission and work
Helping you discover and deepen your Christian spiritual life.
We do this by using the intellectual, theological and spiritual heritage of our Catholic faith
to help all who long for the fulfillment that Christ offers.
Our resources for this work include:
The Wisdom of the Doctors
The Catholic church recognizes the exceptional gifts of 36 individuals with the title of doctor, or teacher. They have written and taught with immense wisdom the Christian faith, and they are esteemed for their personal holiness.
The Communion of Saints
Changed by the Gospel, these people have radiated God’s beauty and help light our own path.
With their company, we can find fellowship, inspiration and guidance.

Beliefs matter. What we think shapes what we do. Our work helps others understand the teachings and practices of our faith so that we may be drawn more into the life of Christ and the Church.
