Dear Parents and Prospective Students:
In 1995 Pope John Paul II’s encyclical, Ut Unum Sint (on Commitment to Ecumenism), called for Catholics to be open to cooperation in education with other Christians (para. 74). Four years later, in the fall of 1999, Redeemer Pacific College, an Associate College of the Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio, opened as a dynamic, orthodox Catholic college affiliated with Trinity Western University, one of our continent’s most academically-excellent Evangelical universities—a three-time recipient of the Globe and Mail’s “A+” in Quality of Education.
Redeemer Pacific College offers a one-of-a-kind, international, cross-cultural educational experience that is faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church. Catholic students work side by side with Evangelicals from North America and around the world, taking courses in Catholic theology, philosophy, sacred art, history and other subjects from RPC while pursuing a proven Trinity Western major that combines courses from both RPC and TWU. Our students don’t simply “receive” an education—they are part of an exciting work of Christian cooperation that will surely help the world believe that God our Father sent His Son Jesus to redeem mankind (cf. John 17:20-21).
Is Our Lord calling you to be a part of this great adventure?
Yours in Christ,
Tom Hamel
