Leaders of the University of St. Thomas MFA program believe theirs is unique in that it is the only program explicitly devoted to the renewal of the Catholic literary tradition. Their mission is clear. Their website says they, “propose nothing less than a revival of the literary arts in our day, one that will recommit them [students] to the serious achievement of craft and scope of spiritual and intellectual depth worthy of the tradition we inherit and the reader’s attention for which we call.”
Sounds a lot like what was then called St. Joseph’s College when I went there. The connection between literature and religion was always manifest.
