Holy Spirit College in Atlanta Rises on the Two Wings of Faith and Reason

...There are a growing number of authentically Catholic Colleges and Universities. They are among our greatest missionary resources. They are forming the "living stones" the Apostle Peter wrote of in his first letter to the dispersed Christians (1 Pet. 2:5) for the work of the Church in the Third Christian millennium. The men and women graduating from these Colleges will lead the West out of darkness and serve the new missionary age of the Catholic Church.

The missionary task we face requires the preparation of young men and women in the fullness of the authentic Catholic faith which only an authentically Catholic education can provide. That is why I am becoming a booster of this little Gem in the crown of Christ the King called Holy Spirit College. I recently spoke with the President of Holy Spirit College, Gareth N. Genner.

The occasion which prompted our conversation was the transfer of ownership of one of my favorite Catholic Book Publishers, Sophia Institute Press... Holy Spirit College lives...in the heart of the Church for the sake of the world. It has a clear self understanding of its mission.

...Holy Spirit College offers a classically oriented liberal arts curriculum understanding there is no dichotomy between "faith and reason". In Blessed John Paul's Encyclical Faith and Reason (Fides et Ratio) he wrote "Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth-in a word, to know himself-so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves."

Fidelity to the teaching office of the Catholic Church is the lifeblood of this College

This latest news concerning Holy Spirit College only adds to the growing regard I have for the College. Holy Spirit College is preparing the missionaries of the new missionary age and the future leaders of the Church and the world. After many years of serving the Lord I am convinced there is no more important work than Catholic education. We are involved in an intergenerational effort...Fidelity to the teaching office of the Catholic Church is the lifeblood of this College
