The Cardinal Newman Society on Monday released its annual guide to help young Catholics make an informed choice as they navigate their search for colleges.
The organization noted that this year marks 10 years since Pope Benedict XVI's visit to the United States. The pope addressed the importance of Catholic education during that trip.
"First and foremost, every Catholic educational institution is a place to encounter the living God, Who in Jesus Christ reveals His transforming love and truth," Pope Benedict XVI told educational leaders at The Catholic University of America on April 17, 2008.
One year later, the Cardinal Newman Society published its first Newman Guide to Catholic Colleges, which the organization's president, Patrick Reilly, presented to Pope Benedict in Rome.
