Today The Cardinal Newman Society published a new, second edition of The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College, a free online resource for parents and students seeking a faithful Catholic education.
This comprehensive Guide recommends 21 Catholic colleges and universities in the United States plus eight international, online and unique programs based on the strength of their Catholic identity. In addition, the Guide includes several essays to help families better understand the search for a strong Catholic college.
The culmination of four years of research and hundreds of interviews, this edition of The Newman Guide builds substantially on the successful first edition which was published on All Saints Day in 2007. All told more than 8,000 copies of that edition were distributed to Catholic leaders and families.
“When we published the original Newman Guide in 2007 we did not know what to expect, but we found that families were eagerly searching for help in identifying Catholic colleges that truly embrace their Catholic mission in all facets of campus life,” said Patrick J. Reilly, President of The Cardinal Newman Society and one of the editors of the second edition of the Guide.
“The mission of The Cardinal Newman Society is to help renew Catholic higher education, and we can think of no better way to do that than by offering this edition of The Newman Guide as a book but also as a free online resource. We are doing this so that as many Catholic families as possible are able to learn about the quality academics and faithful campus life available at the recommended colleges,” said Reilly.
Every college or program recommended in the Guide includes a complete profile that examines academics, governance, spiritual life, student activities, and residence life.

My alma mater’s on the list. Cool.

“My alma mater’s on the list. Cool.”

1. What is your alma mater?
2. Mine isn’t. I’m not surprised.
University of San Diego, when I went there, had some really faith-filled students and faculty, and a couple faculty that were basically atheist, and a number of students who weren’t that into religion. I have to say, it strengthened my faith to go there, because of some courses I took and students I met. But, to read the alumni materials now, Jesus is not mentioned at all. Catholic values are mentioned as a motto in the recruitment materials, but there is little mention of overtly Catholic lives, among the alumni they choose to profile in the USD Magazine.
3. On the upside, though, the fight song for the Toreros was that Herb Alpert song about the lonely matador (forgot the exact name). I’ll cheer to that at a football game any day!
Benedictine College.
Aquinas...I used to live a stones throw away and God saved my life in a catholic hospital on the south side of the campus..twice
They have a nurse residency program there with St Thomas .
re: Benedictine College.
I’ve visited there a couple of times, in learning something about my grandfather, who went to the seminary there. Apparently, at the time, there was a high school/junior seminary there, because I know he didn’t go to college. (We’re talking 1900s or 1910s). [good thing the seminary didn’t pan out, or I wouldn’t be here!]
Seems like a very nice place. I would be happy if a child of mine wanted to attend.
