Maier: 2025 Commencement Address full 7c8ec4d6-2e7c-4c47-b37c-37cc087d2a4f https://share.transistor.fm/s/6dec3185 Christendom College celebrated its 46th commencement on May 17, awarding 130 Bachelor of Arts degrees to the Class of 2025, the largest graduating class in the college’s history. Francis X. Maier, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, delivered this year’s Commencement Address and received an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters in recognition of his outstanding contributions to Catholic faith, culture, and public life. “The church needs the college that formed you, and she urgently needs each one of you personally because it’s people, not tools or weapons or even resources, that are decisive,” said Maier. “Any effort at restoring all things in Christ, which is the mission of this college and its graduates, begins with conversion, reform, and a personal zeal for discipleship in each of our individual hearts.”

Maier, who served for 23 years as senior aide to Archbishop Charles Chaput and 15 years as editor-in-chief of The National Catholic Register, praised the graduates during his address, encouraging them to stay the course that Christendom placed them on as they go forth to “restore all things in Christ." "The proof of an education is the people it produces, and I’ve seen the impact of this college again and again and again over the decades of my own career,” stated Maier. “Simply put, Christendom College is a treasure. Very rare in the academic world because, at its best, it produces whole, fully human beings grounded in something more than intellectual fashion. So, for the parents here today, thank you for the sacrifices you’ve made in giving this gift to the children you love. And for the students, take a moment of pride today in the fact that all of you as graduates, whether you fully understand it yet or not, have the vocation and the ability to be extraordinary men and women in God’s service.”
