Catholic Anthropology
Grounded in the Church's rich understanding of the human person as created for relationship, growth, vocation, and communion with God.
Psychological Science

How we learn to love, belong, and flourish in relationship.
03
SPIRITUAL
How we encounter God and respond to His grace.
04
VOCATION
How we live out self-gift in our God-given call.
The Formation Field™ Framework
THE pathway
The three-part formative movement:
01
RECEIVED
We cannot give what we have not first received.
02
REVEALED
God’s love is made manifest through relationship.
03
RETURNED
The human heart is ultimately drawn back to Him who is Love.
Formation is not the transfer of information.
It's the Transformation
of the Human Person.
The future of our Catholic faith will not be secured accidentally nor through information alone. It will be formed intentionally, and sustained through the formation of persons capable of receiving truth, responding to grace, living from communion, and offering themselves in love.
The Ultimate Purpose of Human Formation is Communion in the Life of God.
A life capable of receiving God's love, revealing His love through relationship, and returning that love in freedom through self-gift. For the:
Renewal of the family
Strengthening of the Church
Restoration of culture
For the Glory of God
