Expanding and sustaining the Catholic intellectual tradition nationwide.
The In Lumine Network was born out of the conviction that students across the country deserve the same access to the Catholic tradition as our students at the University of Chicago. Beginning informally with the creation of other independent Catholic institutes following the Lumen Christi model, the In Lumine Network was officially established with a three year, $3.6 million grant from the John Templeton Foundation to provide the necessary resources and support for developing and established institutes to flourish.
