Sophia Institute Summer Program: For the Study of Faith and Reason

About me

Location	Maine, United States
Introduction	The Sophia Institute Summer Program: For the Study of Faith and Reason promises to evoke a sense of wonder as the basis for intellectual, moral and spiritual excellence. This meeting of university students in a retreat-like context introduces young men and women to the rich intellectual and spiritual patrimony of the Catholic Church through conversation about perennial truths. Participants read and reflect upon seminal works from the history of Western thought—both Christian and otherwise. The program benefits undergraduate and graduate students pursuing a wide range of academic majors. The Summer program, co-sponored by Saint Joseph's College of Maine campus ministry is hosted at Morrill Farm--a 217 acre homestead in the western foothills of Maine only an hour from Augusta in Sumner, Maine. In this location, which is well suited to our aims, we will enjoy leisure on the small working farm, family-style meals, folk music, hikes on Speckled and Bald Mountains as well as swimming in the river that winds its way through property.
