The Society for the Renewal of the Catholic Mind

"Seek to learn on earth those truths which will remain ever valid in heaven." ~ St. Jerome

The work of Catholic education, of taking every thought captive in obedience to Christ (2 Cor. 10:5), extends far beyond the walls of the classroom to the whole of one’s life and to every facet of reality. This is a daunting challenge in any era, but perhaps most especially in our secular age.

The Society for the Renewal of the Catholic Mind was created not only to support the St. Jerome Institute in its mission to help renew Catholic education, but to foster intellectual community and the renewal of a truly Catholic imagination beyond the classroom and the high school years. The events of the Society bring the Catholic imagination to bear on every facet of life, from philosophy, theology and the arts, to science, politics, and culture.

Society membership includes:

  • A copy of Stratford Caldecott’s book, Beauty for Truth’s Sake.

 

  • Lectures by the founders of SJI and other prominent guests, Great Books seminars, and roundtable discussions with SJI teachers exploring questions of culture and education.

 

  • The Rising Wind monthly newsletter featuring a letter from the School President, photos of student life, and contributions from the Board, parents, and advocates of SJI.

 

Please consider joining the Society for the Renewal of the Catholic Mind to support the St. Jerome Institute, to advance the renewal of Catholic education, and to deepen your own knowledge and love of the Catholic intellectual tradition.
