CRISIS: Catholic Higher Education and the Next Generation.(Conference)

December 22, 2015

 For the first time in Arlington Virginia, the Institute of Catholic Culture and The Cardinal Newman Society and are cosponsoring a presidential conference entitled CRISIS: Catholic Higher Education and the Next Generation.

With hundreds of thousands of pro-life activists descending on the nation’s capital for the March for Life, this conference invites attendees from around the country to come head-to-head with the ever increasing crisis in Catholic higher education. Society is at a crossroads in the educational formation of the next generation, and the Church offers the only true way forward. Under attack from the secularist agenda, a new generation of Catholic intellectuals have reacted by working to reestablish centers of opportunity in which our youth can engage in a genuine Catholic education.

Join the Institute of Catholic Culture and The Cardinal Newman Society in welcoming the presidents of faithful Catholic colleges to discuss and debate the crisis and find a solution to the education of the next generation. This conference will be held Saturday, January 23, 9 am - 3:00 pm;at St. Thomas More Cathedral Hall in Arlington, Virginia.
