What does it mean to be a Catholic and Dominican college?



This is an important question and one that we take seriously at Providence College. But like most important questions it is not an easy one to answer. Indeed, the answer to this question invites us to consider what it is to be Catholic, how the intellectual and spiritual traditions of the Dominican Order bear upon and refine our sense of being Catholic, and how faith and reason are meant to be companions in the search for truth.

We invite you to explore this question and the distinctive mission of Providence College by visiting the Office of Mission and Ministry web pages. There you will find reflections on matters Catholic and Dominican, links to the Office of the Chaplain and to the Center for Catholic and Dominican Studies, and additional Catholic and Dominican resources.
