“Faith and reason,” wrote Saint Pope John Paul II, “are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth.” Graduates of Christ the King will be marked by these wings and distinguish themselves as masters of the “tools of learning.” In accordance with our mission, students aspire to “believe sincerely, think critically, and humbly serve others in the name of Christ the King.”
