On Catholic Conversions at Hillsdale College

"At a college where more than 90% of students actively practice a religion and where debates about transubstantiation versus consubstantiation, the significance of Christ’s incarnation, and, most contentiously, Mary's perpetual virginity echo through the halls, Catholicism seems to be gaining new ground.

"Between 2016 and 2019, 76 people converted to Catholicism at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church and were confirmed after undergoing the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. Many of them were Hillsdale students. In 2019 alone, 12 out of 24 converts were Hillsdale students."

A recent article in the Hillsdale Collegian reported on this trend at Hillsdale College and some of the reasons for it.
