Having a Traditional Latin Mass background we visited the University to assess if he'd feel out of place. While there is that aspect to the faith there, it's not at the Mass we attended on campus. That Mass was reverent and it is good to hear that the TLM is celebrated there and nearby.<br /><br />You are right that there are campuses that have more transformative TLMs, but yes, he is seeking a business degree. Also, his father and I preferred that he not be a plane ride away but a drivable distance for further affordablility. What he was looking for could be found 6 hours away. <br /><br />Franciscan ticks off the most boxes for us and we hope and will pray that he has the faith-filled experiences there that we hear from so many others. So many young people lose their faith at secular colleges and we were proud to hear that it was important to HIM to be somewhere that would support his faith, even grow it...which is what we hear from alumni. I think he will attend Mass and adoration MORE there and develop his own prayer life around so many like-minded Catholic men and women.<br /><br />We are lucky as Catholics that there are true Catholic college choices out there affirmed by the Cardinal Newmann evaluation.<br /><br />Thank you for your kinds words and comment. God bless you.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05423794317423373245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467184516054189174.post-83994925252080571202012-11-26T10:18:43.207-05:002012-11-26T10:18:43.207-05:00I have always thought of Steubenville as very host...I have always thought of Steubenville as very hostile to the Latin Mass and Traditionalists. Even waaay back when I was applying to colleges, it had such a charismatic reputation... It's nice to know that they are actually allowing the Latin Mass on campus. Did your son consider any other colleges like TAC or Wyoming Catholic College or did the classical liberal arts not appeal to a future business major? I have only girls, but I have always thought that it must be an extremely difficult process for young Catholic men and their families to pick an appropriate college that balances the Catholic moral life, Catholic intellectual formation and future professional pursuits, particularly when they are more inclined to the hard sciences or other areas than the humanities. May God bless your son and your family!J.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01674838815010546526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467184516054189174.post-49551827217990910882012-11-21T10:54:01.926-05:002012-11-21T10:54:01.926-05:00Beautiful church and made me look up where Stubenv...Beautiful church and made me look up where Stubenville, Ohio was.
