Roman Catholic Church Colleges

With a rich, beautiful, and robust history that spans more than 2 thousand years, the Roman Catholic church has played a major role in the formulation of both Western civilization and popular Christian belief.

The Catholic Church, according to doctrine, was founded by Jesus Christ during his appointment of the twelve Apostles and instructions for them to continue on with his work. It is the largest and most popular Christian denomination in the world, with over 1 billion members worldwide.

The founding mission and belief of the church is essentially spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ across the earth, that is, his commandment for his followers to direct their faith in him to all people around the world.

The Catholic viewpoint holds that there is one supreme and eternal God who is constructed from three forms; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit as well as the idea that the Catholic church itself is the continual presence of Christ on earth. The practice of charity, missionary work, as well as devotional prayer are all widespread beliefs of this denomination and practiced by its constituents.

Education, purpose, and knowledge have always been important embodiments of the church and for this reason there are a number primary, secondary, and post-secondary schools in the United States that currently associate themselves with the Catholic Church and offer education to students of faith.
