“This Catholic Studies program was life changing for me. First, I grew in my faith. Second, I learned how to view the world, including the business world, through a Catholic lens. And third, I was prepared to effectively serve the Church. In short, I started the program as a transactional Catholic seeking answers and I graduated as a properly formed Catholic and energized apostle.”
