Description

At The Collegium, every student participates in our Ora et Labora (Work and Prayer) program, which fosters this understanding of work in two key ways:

1. Recognizing work whether prestigious or humble as a means of living out the Catholic call to give.
2. Engaging entrepreneurial opportunities that cultivate leadership, resilience, and innovation.

Ora et Labora is not just an add-on to academics and spiritual formation it is woven into the very fabric of Collegium life. It teaches students to approach work with purpose, faith, and generosity, preparing them to be givers long after their time at The Collegiumgivers to God, to their families, and to society.
