Cultura
Forming leaders. Teaching the tradition. Publishing research.

I have appreciated Dr. Ryan Topping's work for several years. I support the mission of the Gregory the Great Institute and look forward to seeing the good it will bring to the Church in Canada.
It is creative minorities who determine the future, and in this regard the Catholic Church must understand that she is a creative minority that has a heritage of values that are not things of the past, but a very living and relevant reality.
Religion without orthodoxy, without dogma, is as the heat of a corpse, true for a time but sure to fail.

Build Catholic Intellectual Life in Canada
In its first year, the Institute published Magnalia and distributed to every Catholic bishop and seminary rector in Canada, ran formation programs in four provinces, hosted the inaugural Renewing Culture Conference, and built a community of over 1,500 people hungry for cultural renewal. We did this on a lean budget with a small team. With your help, we can do so much more.
