In 1997, an initial two year programme was broadened to cover three years leading to the award of a Diploma in Philosophy and Religious Studies. In 2002, the proprietors decided to raise the academic standard to enable graduates to meet the intellectual challenges of the society of the day.

The Venerable Fr. Francis Libermann. April 14, 1802 – February 2, 1852. The Second Founder of the Spiritans
Venerable Francis Libermann had a most remarkable journey of faith. He was born into an orthodox Jewish family in the Alsace region of France in 1802, and given the name Jacob.
Jacob Libermann’s father was a rabbi, and Jacob was preparing to become a rabbi himself when his studies led him to the New Testament and to Christianity.
He was baptized Francis Mary Paul, in 1826, at Christmas.
Soon he was studying for the Catholic priesthood, but violent attacks of epilepsy put his vocation on hold.
It was fifteen years before he was finally ordained, in 1841.

Such skills are best gained when students are exposed to different languages, political views, and cultures. What better way to do this than to study in a country different from one’s own?
