Providence College designated an "Exceptional School"
CollegeGuide.org ranks Providence College as Number Seven Exceptional School
Posted by Br. Innocent Smith, O.P. on August 27, 2011
The website CollegeGuide.org, published by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, recently released a report titled "Rating America's Colleges" that evaluates institutions based primarily on the criteria of "how well (or badly) a school does at providing the classic 'liberal education' suited to a free citizen and a well-rounded adult." In this report, Providence College was ranked as their "#7 Exceptional School."
Providence College was founded by the Province of St. Joseph in 1917. Dominican Friars serve the college as faculty, campus ministers, and administrators. Earlier this month, two recent graduates of the college completed their Novitiate and have been assigned to the Dominican House of Studies, continuing a long tradition of PC Alumni joining the Order of Preachers.

Roberto Busa, S.J. (1913-2011)
For most of us who study St. Thomas, the inestimable good rendered by the Index Thomisticus is indisputable. Although the web version is less than 10 years old, Fr. Roberto Busa S.J.'s endeavor began in the early fifties, when he solicited the know-how of IBM to yield a virtually exhausitve word and phrase search from all of St. Thomas's texts!

Do Dogs Have Souls?
A Talk on the Nature of the Soul
Posted by Fr. Pius Pietrzyk, O.P. on July 29, 2011
What is the soul? If it does exist, where is it? Do animals have souls? In this video, Br. Clement Dickie, O.P. explores the Catholic understanding of the nature of the soul. Rooted in the thinking of St. Thomas Aquinas, this talk attempts to answer much of the modern misunderstanding about the nature of the soul as the principle of life. This lecture is the last in a series of summer lectures held at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Zanesville, OH. This lecture was given on July 26, 2011.
