Presentation

The College of St. Luke – Armida Barelli recalls, in its double name, two important figures: St. Luke, medical evangelist, patron of doctors of medicine, and Armida Barelli, founder of the University 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 formative team proposes to apply the constituent elements of the formative project in everyday life:

by 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
by 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 commissions and in the various experiences proposed.

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” General Hospital and the University Campus.

Cultural Commission
Contact person and deputy: Nicoletta Valerio e Benedetta Guarino

The Colleges, in addition to being places of study, are laboratories of training and cultural and social experience. 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 formative area.
For this reason, its members discern together the cultural proposals that most help the collegiate students, present in that specific year, to mature:

an intellectual attitude that goes beyond the boundaries of their own subject of study and their own 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 illuminated by faith;
a serious preparation, with a view to the responsible and competent assumption of one’s profession;
a commitment to act as responsible subjects in the transformation of society;
an openness to and appreciation of all cultures.

Examples of some areas of commitment

making known the riches of our territory, its history and resources;
enhance and promote the activities organized by the University, the CEI, and the University Office of the Vicariate of Rome;
encouraging information, attention to what is happening and its critical reading;
highlighting certain anniversaries, celebratory days;
promoting visits to museums and exhibitions;
participation in theatre performances;
enhancing and promoting the activities organised by the Office for Culture and Universities of the Vicariate of Rome;

at the same time offering opportunities to be together around reflection on issues of common interest, encouraging critical and informed thinking on the part of each.

Liturgical Commission
Contact person and deputies: Sofia Fioretti e Annarita Memmolo

The boarding school is 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. The liturgical commission is responsible for promoting

a reflection on the transcendent dimension, on the question of infinity that dwells in the heart of man;
openness to universal values, to be made one’s own, to be translated into life and into concrete experiences to be shared, with a view to human brotherhood;
dialogue with people who live a different religious experience and with witnesses to our faith; Welcoming the challenges that culture poses in every “here and now” to the incarnation of faith according to each person’s vocation;
participation in the life of the Christian community by listening to the Word of God, in moments of prayer and catechesis, and in liturgical celebrations, coordinating and animating community events;
synergy with the University Pastoral Center (it encourages and fosters participation in the important periods of the liturgical year, pilgrimages, retreats, Spiritual Exercises, and, in general, all those forms that foster community and growth in faith);
knowledge of and participation in the initiatives of the local Church (Vicariate of Rome) and the Universal Church.

Charity Commission

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

The Charity Commission endeavours to implement all those proposals and activities that help each collegiate and the college as a whole to mature in this specific formative area.

Intercollegiate Organising Council
Monica Termite e Maria Chiara Alimenti

Intercollegiate activities, promoted in a climate of collaboration 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 (C.O.I.), made up of various representatives (collegiate COI members, President and Vice-President of both the In Campus Colleges and the In Town Residences, 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.
