ABOUT UNIVERSITAS:
The modern university and job atmosphere can be a hostile place for the Catholic Faith. Whether its in the classroom, student union, or workplace, Catholics are increasingly being challenged by the secularization of society, with its repercussions in almost every facet of life.
As Catholics, it’s not enough that our faith simply survive the challenge; in Christ’s own words, we are called to be the
salt of the earth, and the light of the world (Mt 5:13-14).
In order to meet the challenges of living the faith as a young Catholic adult, the Religious Family (Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matara and IVE) hosts an annual four-day formation program called Universitas on the grounds of their retreat center in the beautiful foothills of the NY Catskill Mountains.Universitas will provide four types of formation essential for Catholic Young Adults:
Human, Spiritual, Intellectual, and Apostolic.
