  “As a Pontifical institution, we are motivated by the desire to make present the mystery of Christ in society, giving a Christian imprint to today's culture, starting from the specificity of a pontifical academic institution promoted by the Legionaries of Christ. This sense of mission urges us to continue striving to seek new horizons and to face the challenges presented by the concrete circumstances in which we live. We are convinced that Jesus Christ is capable of responding to the deepest questions of the men and women of our time, and we wish to bear witness to this. We know that we are not alone in this effort, since, in addition to counting on God’s grace, there are many of you who support us with your prayers and diversified support.
