Presentation

The San Luca - Armida Barelli College recalls, in its double name, two important figures: St. Luke, medical evangelist, patron of doctors of medicine, and Armida Barelli, founder of the College together with Father Agostino Gemelli.

By placing the human person and his growth at the centre of its aims, the College aims to provide a favourable educational environment capable of offering Christian-inspired training processes, in keeping with the founding principles of the Catholic University and the Formative Project for Colleges.

The training team proposes to apply the constituent elements of the training project on a daily basis:

encouraging the active and conscious participation of female students in the various activities promoted by the College itself, the intercollegiate bodies, the University and the Pastoral Centre;
fostering a relational quality within the community and the University with a view to a genuine experience of community life;
accompanying progressive empowerment through active engagement in committees and in the various experiences proposed.
Together with the management and the representative of the EDUCatt Foundation, the Pastoral Assistant, through his activity and by participating in the life of the community, accompanies and ensures a more complete Christian formation proposal.

The College has single rooms with private bathroom, spread over the three floors of the "Istituto Adorazione del Sacro Cuore" building, in the immediate vicinity of the "A. Gemelli" polyclinic and the University Campus.

Cultural Commission
Contact person and deputy: Chiara Cottone and Elisabetta Segreto

The cultural commission endeavours to implement all those proposals and activities that help each college and the college as a whole to mature in this specific area of education.
For this reason, its members discern together the cultural proposals that best help the collegiate members, present in that specific year, to mature:

an intellectual attitude that goes beyond the boundaries of one's own subject and Faculty, that opens up to reality in all its aspects;
a capacity for critical reading of reality, in its values and ambiguities;
an ever new search for truth enlightened by faith;
serious preparation, with a view to the responsible and competent assumption of one's profession;
the commitment to act as responsible actors in the transformation of society;
an openness and appreciation of all cultures.

encouraging information, attention to what is happening and its critical reading;
highlighting certain anniversaries, celebratory days;
promotion of visits to museums and exhibitions;
participation in theatre performances;
valorisation and promotion of the activities carried out by the Office for Culture and Universities of the Vicariate of Rome;

The college stands as a clearly qualified environment for a confrontation with the Christian proposal. It proposes a path of experiential and intellectual maturation, in order to achieve a high moral profile and a harmonious integration between faith and life.
The liturgical commission endeavours to implement all those proposals and activities that help each collegiate and the college as a whole to mature in this specific area of formation.
It therefore works, in connection with the path proposed by the formation project, for the judicious and wise proposal of activities that promote it in the context of faith, bearing in mind the collegiate context with its needs and requirements for growth.

With a view to actively collaborating in the integral formation of the person, the College sees itself as a place that invites one to take care of others, that shapes the generous gift of self.

Intercollegiate Organisational Council
Chiara Gagliardi and Annachiara Strafella

Intercollegiate activities, promoted in an atmosphere of cooperation with the other Colleges, represent an important moment of sharing and confrontation.
Every year a number of representatives are elected at the assembly, who take part in the Inter-collegiate Organisational Council (I.O.C.), made up of various representatives (I.O.C. members, President and Vice-President of both the Colleges On Campus and the Residences In Town, a Pastoral Assistant, an EDUCatt representative).
The C.O.I. organises cultural events, trips, parties and sports activities that make the collegiate experience unique and provide unforgettable moments.
