Via Nova offers a live-in experience of holistic intellectual, professional, and spiritual formation for Catholics ages 18-22.

Through a life of study, work, and prayer, we offer participants a via nova, that is "a new way" of learning and living, such that our students may be better equipped for a life of freedom, mission, and holiness.

Our students experience an integrated life aimed at freeing their minds from the world's illusions and realizing the invitation to fulfill our Lord's summons to know, love, and serve Him.

We believe that such an experience is enormously beneficial… Via exists because we believe everyone would be profoundly well-served by one year of extraordinary formation before launching into the real world.

"The greatest failure of the Church after the Second Vatican Council is the formation of lay people... I applaud Via for taking up this work."
