ALTA VIA AT SAINT FRANCIS UNIVERSITY

What is 阿尔塔通过?

阿尔塔通过 is an intentional community of Catholic students, guided by clergy and professors, who seek to grow closer to Jesus Christ through communal life, intellectual and spiritual formation, and the exercise of the moral virtues.

阿尔塔通过 is Latin for "the high road." This phrase signifies that the purpose for this group is to aid Catholic students on their upward journey to the promised land of eternal life.

Pilgrimage to Assisi and Rome

In the summer between junior and senior year, the 阿尔塔通过 students go on a 10-day pilgrimage to Assisi and Rome. This pilgrimage involves praying at and visiting the important sites of the life of St. 弗朗西斯 of Assisi. 除了, the students visit and pray at the beautiful Catholic churches in Rome and connect with the roots of our shared Catholic Faith.

This pilgrimage is a powerful opportunity to deepen one's faith by walking in the footsteps of St. 弗朗西斯 as well as connecting to the powerful Catholic history of Rome. Time for reflection upon this pilgrimage is part of the fourth year of the 阿尔塔通过 Program: Witnessing the Faith.

Who should apply?

Students who have a desire to grow in their Catholic Faith and relationship with Jesus Christ and others. The goal of the 阿尔塔通过 program is to form strong Catholics who explore the depths of the faith in a communal setting. The program is catechetical in nature, which means its goal is to teach the Catholic Faith and encourage life-long discipleship in following Jesus Christ. If this vision appeals to you, we encourage you to apply.
