As
a Catholic liberal arts college, Christendom's essential purpose is to
place students on the path to Christian wisdom, a wisdom born from the
contemplation and love of both natural and divinely revealed truth. Toward
this end, the academic and other programs at the College work in conjunction.
The chief goal of the academic program is to form intellectual virtues
in the students. The activities, events, community and spiritual life
on campus also foster the cultivation of wisdom, helping students to form
the moral virtues, the habits of Christian living, which will enable them
to order properly the goods and things of the body and the higher goods
and things of the soul.
These moral habits,
as traditionally understood, make possible the speculative life; without
them, a person is incapable of true contemplation, for contemplation is
a matter not only of the mind, but also of the will, of the heart, of
the whole man. Man is called not only to know the truth, but to love it,
and to make it the formative principle of his life. Encouraging these
habits is the responsibility of the College as a whole.
