How does Catholic Education Help the Mission of the Church W/ Monsignor James Shea
This is our final installment from the The Cardinal Newman Leadership Summit held at the University of St. Thomas in fall of 2024. In our first episode we asked the questions if college is still worth it and talked with Kevin Murphy about how college is a pathway for the discernment of God’s will for our life.
Then we talked with Kyle Washut about the History of Education and how it is intimately entwined with the Catholic Church.
Today we are sitting down with Monsignor James Shea, President of the University of Mary in Bismarck North Dakota, about how Catholic Education prepares us for living the Mission of the Church.

Life, faith unpacked on the Camino
Before walking the Camino de Santiago, Fr. Eduardo thought about what to bring and what to leave behind – physically and spiritually. By the end of the 80-mile trek, he’d found new lessons to take home.
Fr. Eduardo Rivera is the Campus Chaplain for the University of St. Thomas – Houston. When he agreed to go on the trip, he knew he would be accompanying a few students and professors, but he didn’t know how the experience would become a metaphor for life – with opportunities for spiritual growth, building community, and finding humor during tough moments.
