Our Mission
“Dear young people, let yourselves be taken over by the light of Christ, and spread that light wherever you are.”
We believe in the sovereign God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Who created us in His image and by Jesus’ passion, death, and resurrection has redeemed us. Each person is called to seek transformation into sanctity, that the world may be renewed.
Our God of wonder, truth, majesty, and mystery can be found in all things true, good, and beautiful, and so we have chosen to pursue Him in a liberal education. The Church has a profound intellectual tradition, that her children may love the Lord with mind as well as heart.
Since community is vital, and there is a need for a community of young people dedicated to the Catholic intellectual life, we have created a platform to serve this. Here, we seek to engage the perennial questions of the heart of man, and expand our wisdom and understanding on our road to becoming saints. If we continue in His way, we may be truly called disciples, and we shall know the truth, and the truth will make us free.
Pope Saint John Paul II
You are not living in this century by accident…
At Lumen de Lumine, we pray that you find wonder and rest, that you fall in love with the Catholic intellectual tradition, and that you contribute your own work as a result. There is a great need for young people to help restore the moral order, and as someone pursuing the intellectual life, there is something you must do, something you must say! We encourage you onward.
Put out into the deep.
To Narnia and the North!
Our name
Credo in unum Deum,
Patrem omnipotentem,
factorem caeli et terrae,
visibilium omnium et invisibilium,
Et in unum Dominum Iesum Christum,
Filium Dei unigenitum,
et ex Patre natum, ante omnia saecula,
Deum de Deo, lumen de Lumine,
Deum verum de Deo vero,
genitum, non factum, consubstantialem Patri:
per quem omnia facta sunt.
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, the maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible, and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, light from Light, true God from true God, begotten not made, consubstantial with the Father, through Whom all things were made.
Our name, Lumen de Lumine, is Latin for “Light from Light” and comes from the Nicene Creed. Christ is our light, the path to salvation, and the one we seek as we follow vocation of the intellectual life.
