Founded by Catholic scholars at Hope College, the Saint Benedict Institute seeks to promote and nurture intellectual work done from the heart of the Catholic Church, to foster an ecumenical community of Catholic Christians and friends committed to the renewal fo culture, and to aid in the formation of intellectually and spiritually mature Christians by making available the riches of the Catholic tratition to hope college and the wider community.
The Saint Benedict Institute is a ministry of the local parish, St. Francis de Sales, which is in walking distance from campus. At St. Francis, we look at college students not as visitors, but as beloved parts of our parish.
