知识分子的生活, like the acquisition of virtue, is a communal (not a solitary) undertaking,加维说。. “我们互相学习. The intellectual culture we create is the product of our collective effort. A 天主教 intellectual culture will be something both distinctive and wonderful if we bring the right people into the conversation and if we work really hard at it.”

The prestigious Lumen Vitae Medal, (Latin for “The Light of Life”) is given to those who are champions of 天主教 education and who bring others closer to Christ and His Church.

The expo features over 40 vocations directors and teams representing a broad range of religious orders and service communities from across the country gathering on campus to pray together and witness the joy and beauty of life consecrated to God’s call. Exhibits and display booths will showcase the distinctive charism, 历史, 以及每个小组的任务.
