Catholic Identity Dominican Tradition
We have faith in your future
Albertus Magnus College is a Catholic college founded by the Dominican Sisters of
Peace. The College affirms the essential dignity of each person as a being of divine
origin.
Because it is rooted in the Dominican tradition, Albertus Magnus College is devoted
to the pursuit of truth in all of its dimensions and to the proposition that faith
and reason are complementary. Thus, this College fosters a commitment to scholarly
exploration and to the principles of academic freedom. The College welcomes diversity
and is dedicated to facilitating the intellectual growth of its faculty, students
and administrative staff so that they may develop their individual gifts and acquire
the habits of mind necessary to pursue truth. The Albertus community is dedicated
to creating an open institution environment which supports its members' intellectual,
spiritual and social development.
Students from all faiths and non-believers are welcomed and encouraged to share their
traditions and experiences.
The seal of Albertus Magnus College is comprised of two shields. In the background
(black and white) is the Dominican seal which recalls the college's foundation as
a Dominican college. In the foreground is the family shield (House of Bollstadt) of
the Dominican saint and scholar, Albert the Great, from which the college derives
its name.
The Four Pillars Of The Dominican Tradition
Study
Our namesake, Albert the Great, was a scholar who integrated faith and reason; the
spiritual and the scientific. In this tradition, the Office of Dominican Ministries
promotes the connection of God to all we study.
Prayer
The Office of Dominican Ministries coordinates, organizes, and promotes opportunities
for prayer and contemplation. Our Saint Catherine of Siena Chapel is a place of prayer
and contemplation open each day; and is the place of regular events of worship and
prayer reflecting our Catholic heritage and our openness to the diverse faiths found
in the Albertus Magnus Community. The Coordinator of the Office of Dominican Ministries
provides prayer and reflection for college events as well.
Community
The Dominican Tradition encourages us to see and make connections, and promotes the
connectedness we share among each other in the Albertus Magnus community and the world
beyond. As unique members of the Albertus Magnus Community, each one of us "...attempts
to seek out the wonder of the material universe...and finds... perfection in wisdom,
which gently draws the human mind to look for and love what is true and good. (Gaudium
et Spes, Vatican II)
Service
Service is the natural response of a life open to God, through prayer and contemplation.
Prayer and contemplation opens us to the needs of the whole world through service
and the promotion of the common good. The Office of Dominican Ministries offers opportunities
for service both on and off campus. Dominican Ministries reaches out to the poor,
those at risk, the marginalized of our communities and our world. Dominican Ministries
fosters an awareness of a variety of service opportunities, and strives to put into
action a desire to serve.
