There are already several fine Catholic Colleges in the San Francisco Bay Area. Why start another one?
A. With the demise of the St. Ignatius Institute and Campion College, the Bay Area is left without a certain important higher educational option characterized by complete solidarity with the Magisterium and an intent pursuit of educational excellence inspired by the Great Books/Liberal Arts tradition. Many faithful Catholic parents and adult learners desire a local resource which is faithful, excellent, cost-effective, and responsive to the urgent needs of lay Catholics. The available institutions of Catholic higher learning in the Bay Area operate in competition with their secular counterparts. Such institutions serve a large number of consumers admirably. However, this new foundation aims to be a conscious agent of the New Evangelization by providing an excellent education inspired by the Liberal Arts/Great Books tradition and in complete solidarity with the Magisterium. There is a need, and we aim to fill it.
