I went to Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio last weekend for their youth conference. That school is on fire for the Lord! Fantastic campus and amazing people!
@@sleepinglioness5754 the current President, Father Dave Pivonka , is very good and in my opinion, one very holy man. The previous President Father Sheridan stepped down under pressure from parents, the community, and Church Militant who helped expose some controversy about an English Department teacher who assigned questionable materials concerning Mary, the mother of God, Some sinister stuff. Also, there was a priest who was there who wasto no good as well. Im not sure whose watch he fell under.. His last name was Tiesi. Alot of information can be found online (youtube videos and the like) if you care to follow-up. I believe this place, Franciscan University of Steubenville, to one of the very best places to study in America if you want to hold on to your faith and just as important, develop it. I say this with all conviction.
@@joecastellanos4122 Thank Joe. I remember that now from Church Militant. Glad to hear it got resolved and cleared up. It would have been a tremendous loss to have their reputation tainted in any way. Plus with such esteemed Catholic educators like Dr. Scott Hahn. Thank you again, that was very nice of you to bring me up-to-date.
My sister goes to JP II the Great, and I’m about to go to Franciscan in the fall. The Newman Guide was one of the first places my family looked. So happy to see it shared
Thomas Aquinas College certainly deserves to be on this list. My four years there were the happiest years of my life. There, the Catholic faith is practiced as it was always meant to be. Priests, religious, philosophers, theologians, and -- dare I say -- saints are formed there, and they are by no means a rarity. We don't have any canonized saints yet, but I have great faith that those of our college family who have passed before us are presently in heaven, or else well on their way. The presence of God across the college grounds is utterly undeniable; it is as unmistakable as the heat of summer or the cold of winter. One day the Catholic Church will triumph over the wickedness of the world, and Thomas Aquinas College offers a preview of what that will look like. It is paradise on earth.
"Seek and you shall find." Father good for you, and good for those who are on the road of searching for that special University that has all the attributes you mentioned so faithfully. Looks like you found a good source of good universities. Concern - Love - and Dedication, for The Body of Christ. Thank you.
Franciscan University has been an awesome University towards our daughter's education and spirituality. There is a daily Mass going on at certain times in the day and 💖adoration too. It's a JOY to see my daughter so happy and content at this University. She was very picky about choosing her University. Her Catholic Faith is very IMPORTANT to her so we as parents are grateful that Fransican University is doing it's best to keep the Catholic Faith ALIVE! Que Viva Cristo Rey! 🙏🦋💞 ☺
My children must pay for their college tuition so community college and state Universities are the only option. My son was BLEST to have an exceptional Newman Center at Towson University in Maryland. Daily mass and daily Adoration! FOCUS Missionaries. Ad Orientem mass.
Father Mark, how sad we have to do this. What kind of shape is our Chur ch in. I went to Seton Hall University in the 70's & it wasn't a Christ centered university then. But Jesus will find you wherever you are. My best friend Jim kept pestering me to join his fraternity. There were some ex- seminarians in there & they were on the cutting edge of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. I found the Lord there. Keep up the good work. Remember it is better to follow God than man. Don't let them silence you. You are living water.
Father, my daughter just finished her freshman year at Franciscan. She had been entirely homeschooled. This school is the answer to our prayers. While quite expensive, we are quite poor, but are managing through God's generous Provision. There is a chapel with the blessed sacrament in her dorm! She also was recruited to be in charge of the nursing home ministry. She said that they must go early to liturgies (such as Holy Week) to get a good seat! She will travel to Pittsburgh with other students to Latin Mass. She has not only maintained her values, they have thrived and grown! Praise God for this school. Yes, Father, there is hope! There are blessed places to go to college! And their souls are thriving.
I occasionally go to mass at Gonzaga. The general intersessions are very often about cleaning the Spokane River, or about kids in detention centers in Texas, yet never a word about the Planned Parenthood clinic less than a mile away.
Thank u Father Goring - I'm attending a Marianist university but I heard u mention a few recommended Catholic universities I will apply to for my Masters
We are here now with my son being a rising senior. We just visited Franciscan. It was a beautiful and holy place. God was present everywhere we went. Next week we visit Ave Maria! Thank you for making this video! May God bless you and protect you!
It was many years ago when I chose a small previously all male Benedictine College. I was looking at student to teacher ratio. I also remember how much I enjoyed the short time I spent in primary parochial school. As a military dependent, it was the only time it was available. I do understand the idea of youth looking for a place where Faith is nourished. What I remembered about the parochial school was morning Mass before class. Since I was responsible for my own college expenses, I am thankful I was able to attend the small college I did. While tuition was higher, room and board actually brought costs to little more than that of going to a larger state college.
hersheystaste4life why don’t you, Protestant, mind your own business & concentrate on your very own Protestant brethren by praying for them. Why on earth you come to a Catholic TH-cam, just to challenge Catholics? Time’s up Protestant...go back to your own folk & leave Catholics alone to worship and glorify the One True God in the beautiful life of Catholicism! Deo Gratias!
When I was looking for medical residencies years ago, I wrote Ed Pelligrino at Georgetown who had spoken at our Christian Medical Society about faith and medical ethics and asked him if there were any Catholic medical residencies in the US that sought to integrate faith and medicine. He replied 'no'. ......Pray for the coming renewal.
When Fr. Groeshel was alive, he talked about the Newman guide. The 2019 numbers have shrunk even lower. 29 Catholic Colleges were recommended in 2017-2018.
Fr. Mark Goring, Belmont Abbey College! Adoration chapel open 24/7, confessions heard every day, beyond amazing professors, an astoundingly beautiful campus, and no better a college to grow academically and spiritually!
I had Bible Study with friends at UC Davis...and friends who were Campus Crusaders for Christ. The guy that did Bible Study was a true Christian (Protestant), but a true Christian-- I used to play Devil's Advocate.... How can you do a Bible study with an incomplete Bible 🤨? (I had 12 yrs of Catholic School-- and I LOVE rhetoric)-- He was trying to grow in Faith, and I wanted someone to argue with. I pray that man is still strong in his Christian Faith, I've grown some since then, in mine.
If only I could have afforded to send my children to an authentic Catholic College. They went to secular schools and all have left the church. I pray daily that they will return to the faith. I question some of the things that are happening at Steubenville.
Excellent! Thanks! St JPII gave criteria for Catholic colleges, but was ignored. At 18 yers old they will retain the orthodoxy and traditions which they don't learn well in elementary and high school.
A true apostle of Christ will go to a regular college and with the help of the Holy Spirit be an example of love and kindness to those who do not yet know Jesus.
Not necessarily true. My daughter has been in public schools trying to evangelize for the past 10 years. With the Lords help she’s done an amazing job. She is now a senior in high school and needs her batteries recharged. She’s been pummeled by secularism and the constant uphill battle. She wants to surround herself with Christ, his Blessed Mother and the sacraments and devotional life of a truly Catholic School. Then her plan is to get back to the fight. So I consider her a true apostle who wants to be nearer the Lord than she’s ever been yet, with a font of Catholic knowledge you won’t get anywhere else.
Totally naive and bogus idea. Catholic colleges are for forming young people to become educated Christians. The student must be formed with the truth and proven capable before he can fight error on the battlefield of the world. Sending a young adult to a pagan institution is like sending a military recruit without training or a weapon to war. It's homicide. It's a sin. First form the recruit into a capable warrior, and then send him to the battlefield where he will succeed and win.
Bad idea. That's like sending a teen off to be a life guard before they can swim - you're setting them up for failure. Few teens can survive four years of peer pressure that's constantly pulling them away from Christ. We send teens off to college because we recognize that they aren't fully formed or educated yet and need four more years. Why would you think that they are fully formed and educated in the faith and can live without community? They have their entire life to do what you suggest. The majority of teens need those four years to make the faith their own and grow in their knowledge and love of Christ. Why do you think so many Confirmed Catholics are leaving the faith during and immediately after college? Because they weren't prepared for what they faced at secular institutions; because they had people like you whispering bad foolish ideas to them when they were making their college choices.
I wish they had a seperate guide for "public universities" with great newman centers. I would venture to guess the formation and Catholic culture at public university Newman centers like Nebraska or Illinois are stronger than most "Catholic" colleges.
I've heard wonderful things about the University of Nebraska, Lincoln (main campus). Also, if you're on the east coast, Temple University's Catholic priest and what he's doing are a blessing.
Wanderer did a survey once, 1000 Catholic graduates, were you still practicing your faith 5 yrs later? From pro-life colleges=the most, state schools= 2nd, pro-abortion Catholic colleges= dead last in practicing Catholics... go figure...
i live in san antonio tx; we have a ton of "Catholic schools" - not a single one is listed - how sad, even sadder is the fact that i'm not surprised :, (
I have friends whose son just graduated form university of dallas. they were very happy with the catholic instruction. At least Dallas is only 4-5 hours way, right? Just a thought.
Hi Father Mark, I don't know in the US but here in Europe the catholic schools are only for the rich. And I think that catholic education should be for all.
Inês Regina Krupa Catholic Education is for Catholics, rich or poor, period! I have my personal reservations on non-Catholic children enrolled in Catholic schools because aged l know of at least more than one non-Catholic who were educated in Catholic schools, to turn against the Catholic Church/Catholics, and it is quite sad. In Oceania, Baptised Catholics are given top priority for enrolment in Catholic schools followed by non-baptised Catholics. Non-Catholics are the very last in line to be accepted, depending on their family’s religion/ religious upbringing. It would be best to home-school kids for religious reasons, and home schooling is cheaper than going to a school that doesn’t always impart true solid Catholic foundations for kids, such as how understand virtue, self-sacrifice, penance and prayer life. There was a non-Catholic teacher teaching in a Catholic school, who had never touched Mass or the Catholic Church.....it was a school Mass in the large Catholic Church. Her students who were 7 at the time, would observe her when it was time to stand, or sit or kneel. It was during the consecration of the Eurcharist, that the teacher, who was sitting at the front, didn’t notice anything different, sat on the pew along with her students, with the exception of a few Catholic kids who looked behind seeing everyone on their knees, that they did the same. When the teacher noticed the priest looking st her during the consecration, she looked over opposite her & realised the embarrassment & kneeled just as the consecration was about to end...the students followed in unison. This never happened when it used to be Catholic religious Sisters/Brothers who taught in many Catholic schools in the bygone years. Laity taking over, schoolss, l think, a bit of a disaster, in particular those who are non-Catholic!
Belmont Abby told my husband who wanted an theology degree/ English degree he could not go because he could not go to school with young people. He was 38 just got out of Army. He ended up going to a secular school. He quit a semester from graduating. No theology degree no English degree.
Father Mark, does John Henry Newman's guide include Canada? I know Ottawa has St. Paul's but that's all I know. I can't find this guide on the internet.
I know there is a very active and excellent Newman Center at McGill. My daughter made many life-long friends there. Their pro-life speakers in the early 2000s were rudely disrupted with pro-abortion gangs trying to shut them down and throw them off campus. These disruptors even insisted McGill University disband the pro-life group, which McGill did not do, thus demonstrating McGill understood Academic Freedom (Kudos to McGill). Sadly, Trudeau's government is doubling down on arresting people for exercising their right to practice their religion. The government is even persecuting faithful Catholics for exercising their right to free speech. I am Canadian and I am very sad for this trend in our country. I hope there are still active Newman Centers across the country--Canada needs them.
Fr Mark, I sent my daughter to a “Catholic” HS in MD. I am so disappointed. The focus is on academics and faith is not really the center. I am so heartbroken.
Well,I hope these colleges are not the usual money grubbers out there but real educational institutions in the sciences and mathematics.Imagine if these colleges were to educate at a cost well below others without the fancy cost sucking facilities.We could hope. Pity no one ever discusses technical schools for Catholics.
Franciscan university of Steubenville and Ave Maria University have come under fire of late. FUS is my almi mater and Ave Maria University my cousin was a professor of theology there. He left due to some differences with the administration. Some of the other colleges mentioned I questioned but don't have any info about.
We are at a time when "faithfully Catholic" and "counter-cultural" are synonymous, but not for the reason these terms used to be. Today, it does not only mean that traditional Catholicism is a sign of contradiction to the world, but a sign of contradiction to majority Catholicism.
God bless you Father, I hate to rain on your parade, but Church Militant has brought to light some pretty disturbing issues about the Franciscan University at Steubenville, I just thought you should know. Their school should also be removed from the list of approved institutions.
I've come on here to ask : can it be true that you have " Ceased and desisted " about criticising the Catholic Church's slow adoption of the world's values ? And that you've actually deleted videos ? Please tell me that's untrue . I shan't believe it until you tell me so.
Fr. Mark this is awesome information that we all need to know especially for young families that have children that are discerning vocations. I wish I knew this when we sent our son to the minor seminary of the Legionaries of Christ. He suffered three years of torture with them trough brain washing when he actually wanted to come home after three months! They told him “Lost Vocation Sure Damnation” Fr. Marciel Marcle was an evil unrepentant homosexual and died in Florida as his alternate personality of Joe and kicked out all the priests and asked for his wife from Spain to be present at his deathbed! My son no longer practices the Catholic faith because of the damage they the Legionaries did to him😢 can you blame him? We’ve brought him to many therapists in St. Louis and they all Failed US🥵😢🙏 This is a Major Warning to TH-cam people beware of this still existing Cult headed in Cheshire Connecticut. Please realize I was a Regnium Christy Appostlate an was involved with this Cult since 2000! I was a youth leader for ECYD! Not anymore because I found the TRUTH ABOUT THIS EVIL CULT!!!
I'm so glad Fr Mark that you're talking about the Traditional Latin Mass. The Companions should be taught in their seminarians. It's the future of the Church for sure! Pax Christi!
Aren’t children taught the Catholic faith before college??? I learned it when I was young Elementary school Waiting til college is rather late And…by college people should be able to defend their faith It sounds to me like you don’t want kids to be able to be able to keep their faith unless they are in a Catholic college that YOU think is ok
It has become my observation that there are much better ways to make a career than going to College. I strongly believe that the Higher Education System.... Is neither Higher or Education. Do not waste your money one second. Go learn a skill. By the way this is coming from a highly educated College Graduate. Jim
I agree that young people should be encouraged to learn skills from a young age and know that they can do very well in life as self learners. Thanks for the comment Jim.
CUA seems prestigious, needs to move from D III to D II, shares its campus w/ the Natl. Basilica, that's prestigious, wait - it's across the street from USCCB... That brings it down a notch, bummer...
Tina Barry - couldn't agree more. They have some radical priests there. It was on a utube shown that the priest was doing rap dance after Mass ( such a high standard holy priest) and now they invite the Abomination desolation Cupich to give a talk at their school. It only teaches modernist theology not a traditional Catholic faith.
I knew my Alma mater, Barry University in Miami Shores wouldn’t be on this list. When I went there in the late 80’s-early 90’s, it was run by a bunch of dissident nuns (of course no habits, advocated for women priests, etc). It had almost no Catholic identity whatsoever, and it’s even worse now. Stay away.
When the Benedictines at Most Holy Family Monastery [these actually hold and teach the TRUE Catholic faith] open a Catholic College it will deserve a recommendation; sadly, at this time ALL others in existence are pseudo-catholic or COUNTERFEIT. . .this comment may offend some, but this is the purpose of it! Do some research, YOUR soul & the souls of your children depend on it.
The Catholic Church should stay out of the education business! Some of the graduates of Catholic elementary and high schools have been scarred for life. When you graduate you are aren't qualified for anything.
I went to Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio last weekend for their youth conference. That school is on fire for the Lord! Fantastic campus and amazing people!
@Myles: Wasn't Steubenville having problems before the President resigned or has it rectified itself now that he's gone.

I have my personal reservations on non-Catholic children enrolled in Catholic schools because aged l know of at least more than one non-Catholic who were educated in Catholic schools, to turn against the Catholic Church/Catholics, and it is quite sad. In Oceania, Baptised Catholics are given top priority for enrolment in Catholic schools followed by non-baptised Catholics. Non-Catholics are the very last in line to be accepted, depending on their family’s religion/ religious upbringing. It would be best to home-school kids for religious reasons, and home schooling is cheaper than going to a school that doesn’t always impart true solid Catholic foundations for kids, such as how understand virtue, self-sacrifice, penance and prayer life. There was a non-Catholic teacher teaching in a Catholic school, who had never touched Mass or the Catholic Church.....it was a school Mass in the large Catholic Church. Her students who were 7 at the time, would observe her when it was time to stand, or sit or kneel. It was during the consecration of the Eurcharist, that the teacher, who was sitting at the front, didn’t notice anything different, sat on the pew along with her students, with the exception of a few Catholic kids who looked behind seeing everyone on their knees, that they did the same. When the teacher noticed the priest looking st her during the consecration, she looked over opposite her & realised the embarrassment & kneeled just as the consecration was about to end...the students followed in unison. This never happened when it used to be Catholic religious Sisters/Brothers who taught in many Catholic schools in the bygone years. Laity taking over, schoolss, l think, a bit of a disaster, in particular those who are non-Catholic!
Has CUA changed since the early 90s? I went there my first 2 years of college, and moral laxity was quite normal at the time.
I have been donating to the Cardinal Newman Society for years. They do priceless work investigating the schools.
It would have been nice if you gave a link to the list and told where they are. One good one is St Mary's College in St Mary's KS
Tfw my university got taken off the Newman guide and for good reason 😢
3 Hail Marys for you, Father!
Interesting that Notre Dame, Georgetown, Fordham and Villanova didn't make the list. But not surprising.
Can you also 15 to stay clear from?
PPS. I also think that University of St. Francis in Indiana is a small but good school with lots of potential if given the right kind of leadership
Belmont Abby told my husband who wanted an theology degree/ English degree he could not go because he could not go to school with young people. He was 38 just got out of Army. He ended up going to a secular school. He quit a semester from graduating. No theology degree no English degree.
Father Mark, does John Henry Newman's guide include Canada? I know Ottawa has St. Paul's but that's all I know. I can't find this guide on the internet.
I know there is a very active and excellent Newman Center at McGill. My daughter made many life-long friends there. Their pro-life speakers in the early 2000s were rudely disrupted with pro-abortion gangs trying to shut them down and throw them off campus. These disruptors even insisted McGill University disband the pro-life group, which McGill did not do, thus demonstrating McGill understood Academic Freedom (Kudos to McGill). Sadly, Trudeau's government is doubling down on arresting people for exercising their right to practice their religion. The government is even persecuting faithful Catholics for exercising their right to free speech. I am Canadian and I am very sad for this trend in our country. I hope there are still active Newman Centers across the country--Canada needs them.
Great video & list!!
Villanova U is a good Augustinian Catholic University also Merrimack College.
I can’t got to catholic schools because i come from a low income family, I really wanted to follow my religion
God Bless
On my way to Ave!
Unfortunately Belmont abbey does not have a master's degree program for theology
Mt. St. Mary's University has a great Master's in Theology program, very faithful
Fr Mark, I sent my daughter to a “Catholic” HS in MD. I am so disappointed. The focus is on academics and faith is not really the center. I am so heartbroken.
no focus on faith at NDame, Georgetown, etc. - "2 Our Fathers and 2 Hail Marys..." LOL
How about international students. Can we be accepted?
Well,I hope these colleges are not the usual money grubbers out there but real educational institutions in the sciences and mathematics.Imagine if these colleges were to educate at a cost well below others without the fancy cost sucking facilities.We could hope.
Pity no one ever discusses technical schools for Catholics.
check out engineering at Benedictine...
Thomas Aquinas College in California for sure.
Franciscan university of Steubenville and Ave Maria University have come under fire of late. FUS is my almi mater and Ave Maria University my cousin was a professor of theology there. He left due to some differences with the administration. Some of the other colleges mentioned I questioned but don't have any info about.
PS I think that Holy Cross College in Indiana has potential, needs to round up great leadership...
We are at a time when "faithfully Catholic" and "counter-cultural" are synonymous, but not for the reason these terms used to be. Today, it does not only mean that traditional Catholicism is a sign of contradiction to the world, but a sign of contradiction to majority Catholicism.
Viva Cristo Rei
Father, how is Catholic Theological Union in Chicago?
metalbornmetalbred - 🤷🏻♂️
Very bad from what I’ve heard
God bless you Father, I hate to rain on your parade, but Church Militant has brought to light some pretty disturbing issues about the Franciscan University at Steubenville, I just thought you should know. Their school should also be removed from the list of approved institutions.
The new boss Fr Dave Pivonka is a Spirit filled priest. I pray that he will fix things and regain confidence.
VIVA CRISTO REY!
I've come on here to ask : can it be true that you have " Ceased and desisted " about criticising the Catholic Church's slow adoption of the world's values ? And that you've actually deleted videos ? Please tell me that's untrue . I shan't believe it until you tell me so.
Fr. Mark this is awesome information that we all need to know especially for young families that have children that are discerning vocations. I wish I knew this when we sent our son to the minor seminary of the Legionaries of Christ. He suffered three years of torture with them trough brain washing when he actually wanted to come home after three months! They told him “Lost Vocation Sure Damnation” Fr. Marciel Marcle was an evil unrepentant homosexual and died in Florida as his alternate personality of Joe and kicked out all the priests and asked for his wife from Spain to be present at his deathbed! My son no longer practices the Catholic faith because of the damage they the Legionaries did to him😢 can you blame him? We’ve brought him to many therapists in St. Louis and they all Failed US🥵😢🙏
This is a Major Warning to TH-cam people beware of this still existing Cult headed in Cheshire Connecticut.
Please realize I was a Regnium Christy Appostlate an was involved with this Cult since 2000!
I was a youth leader for ECYD! Not anymore because I found the TRUTH ABOUT THIS EVIL CULT!!!
Viva Cristo Rey
I'm so glad Fr Mark that you're talking about the Traditional Latin Mass. The Companions should be taught in their seminarians. It's the future of the Church for sure!
Pax Christi!
Catholic University of America Class of 2003!
Aren’t children taught the Catholic faith before college??? I learned it when I was young Elementary school Waiting til college is rather late And…by college people should be able to defend their faith It sounds to me like you don’t want kids to be able to be able to keep their faith unless they are in a Catholic college that YOU think is ok
Norte Dame?, Seton Hall??? Georgetown???? .... hmmm. Very telling.
It has become my observation that there are much better ways to make a career than going to College. I strongly believe that the Higher Education System.... Is neither Higher or Education. Do not waste your money one second. Go learn a skill.
By the way this is coming from a highly educated College Graduate.
Jim
I agree that young people should be encouraged to learn skills from a young age and know that they can do very well in life as self learners. Thanks for the comment Jim.
My Wonderful Daughter graduated from Belmont Abbey College Summa Cum Laude. She voted for her ☹️. But they have E Sports now 😂😂😟
If only an actual prestigious university was devoutly Catholic.
try CUA, Mt St mary's University. Providence has potential, just need leaders w/ guts...
@@frankfulton697 I just wish they were prestigious
@@lyricalmike7162 noted, but the Mount and Providence are at least Division I
CUA seems prestigious, needs to move from D III to D II, shares its campus w/ the Natl. Basilica, that's prestigious, wait - it's across the street from USCCB... That brings it down a notch, bummer...
Not my beloved Fighting Irish
Justin if you mean NotreDame in Southbend, Sorry it's a party school, only Catholic in name.
They have not been Catholic since the club of Rome member Fr. Thomas Hesburgh in the late 1960s. Anything Jesuit is a no go.
@@carltonpoindexter2034 You should educate yourself before offering your two cents.
@@mike74h I have. So should you, unless you are merely seeking a DEGREE to get a GOOD JOB!
Steubenville should not be on that list!
Tina Barry - couldn't agree more. They have some radical priests there. It was on a utube shown that the priest was doing rap dance after Mass ( such a high standard holy priest) and now they invite the Abomination desolation Cupich to give a talk at their school. It only teaches modernist theology not a traditional Catholic faith.
ck out ncregister.com - they have a college GUIDE from those schools w/ the guts to answer...
I knew my Alma mater, Barry University in Miami Shores wouldn’t be on this list. When I went there in the late 80’s-early 90’s, it was run by a bunch of dissident nuns (of course no habits, advocated for women priests, etc). It had almost no Catholic identity whatsoever, and it’s even worse now. Stay away.
ck out ncregister.com - they have a college from those schools with guts enough to answer
When the Benedictines at Most Holy Family Monastery [these actually hold and teach the TRUE Catholic faith] open a Catholic College it will deserve a recommendation; sadly, at this time ALL others in existence are pseudo-catholic or COUNTERFEIT. . .this comment may offend some, but this is the purpose of it! Do some research, YOUR soul & the souls of your children depend on it.
The Catholic Church should stay out of the education business! Some of the graduates of Catholic elementary and high schools have been scarred for life. When you graduate you are aren't qualified for anything.
