Without a vision, the people perish. - Msgr. Habiger
The Habiger Institute for Catholic Leadership offers a range of opportunities for students to develop the fortitude and character required to live as faithful professionals, ethical leaders and joyful Catholics in a complex world.
Our leadership formation and development programs go beyond skill mastery to help students develop a deeper moral and spiritual vision and to think about what matters most.
We help our students find meaning wherever God leads them—in their personal and professional or religious lives.

To the heights
Habiger Institute's Verso L'Alto program offers high school students a supportive environment to grow spiritually and intellectually, and better prepare for a four-year college degree.
Monsignor James Habiger dedicated his financial resources, time, and talent to build communities where people would be challenged to be servants of the common good. He wanted to give people a "memory of the past, a perception of the present, and a plan for the future."
To honor his parents, Habiger established the Joseph and Edith Habiger Institute for Catholic Leadership in the Center for Catholic Studies to provide students with leadership formation opportunities.
