Where Do Catholic Kids Go To College?

We have two teens preparing to enter university in the fall. Finding the right college for each of them has been challenging. They would like to go to authentic Catholic colleges, but they would also like to continue their success in sports, and study in specific areas of interest. As we have eight children and a single, modest income, cost is also a concern.

Its not easy to match up all these criteria!

One helpful tool has been The Newman Guide.

It has also been helpful that the two eldest attended Our Lady Seat Of Wisdom and are pleased with their experiences there. (Both found wives, but that's another story!) Shane is now studying law, and Joseph is a fire fighter, finishing a business degree.

The search continues....!

College Bound Catholics

The new Newman Guide is out . Those going to college and seeking an authentic Catholic environment need to read this list. Just because a college has a history of being Catholic doesn't mean its current incarnation is faithful. Many universities have a Catholic 'tradition' yet they promote secular philosophy, even anti-catholic dogma, while marketing themselves as 'Catholic'. Buyer beware!

For the young college bound Catholic, Matthew Warner has some very sensible tips at 'Fallible Blogma'.


Here are a few suggestions for participation on campus. Of course, each group is only as good as its members...
