LOYAL TO THE MAGISTERIUM

Let orthodoxy be the least of your concerns. We understand the need to crown an education with theology, the queen of the sciences, as our educational edifi ce indeed has a lofty aim—heaven itself. With Kolbe Academy, there’s no need to worry about so-called “Catholic” resources of questionable orthodoxy. We use the Faith and Life series by Ignatius Press, the New St. Joseph Baltimore Catechism, the Fr. Laux books, and many other excellent and faithfully orthodox religious instruction materials. Kolbe’s staff is made up of faithful Catholic, experienced and dedicated individuals. The staff members all take the Oath of Fidelity to the Magiste-rium and sign the Profession of Faith in the Holy Roman Catholic Church.
