“Our vision for Corpus Christi is to be a place of learning, community and dialogue that is accepting of all people on the journeys of life and faith. While our mission is specifically Christian, and grounded in the rich intellectual tradition of the Catholic Church, the word ‘Catholic’ is derived from the Greek word ‘katholikós’, meaning all-embracing and universal.”

— Dr. Peter Meehan, President, Corpus Christi College
