About Us
"Education cultivates virtues through deliberate training. It builds the habits that lead to excellence and flourishing."
So says Aristotle in Book II of Nicomachean Ethics. Education rooted in theology and piety is a lifelong process. At The Cathedral Institute, we provide opportunities for our members to continue this journey in a supportive community.
Our Story

Our Mission
Our vision is to provide a place for adults to explore classic texts, theological references, poetry, art, music, and sculpture and the intersection of these as we contemplate what it means to be human and what the Good Life looks like in light of these texts. We're seeking true leisure to dive deeply into transcendental truths and wrestle with the topics that shape human flourishing.
