CATHOLIC STUDIES
STUDENT ORGANIZATION
Mission
The mission of the Catholic Studies Club is to support the program
of Catholic Studies at the university by intellectual, spiritual,
social, and service activities.
The
program of Catholic Studies is new at Seton Hall University and
its purpose is to create a bridge between the study of Catholicism
and all the other disciplines and professions taught at the university.
Thus, it seeks to link literature and faith, business and spirituality,
nursing and religion. Because Catholic faith recognizes a natural
desire in all people for beauty, goodness, truth – all synonyms
for God – the program in Catholic Studies seeks to explore
all the ways in which this desire can be discerned in the various
disciplines and professions. In the words of the first-century martyr,
Saint Justin, the program in Catholic Studies seeks to recognizes
"the seeds of God’s Word" scattered throughout the
universe.
CAST's main priorities in its fourth year of existence are to focus on the
academic, spiritual, service, and social aspects of life.
