Spiritual wellness refers to experiencing peace and confidence by living out our God-given dignity every day, and reverencing it in others. In the Catholic faith, we experience that dignity most fully through the sacraments, prayer, belief, community, and service.
Know: What is Spiritual Wellness?
At The Catholic University of America, we believe that spiritual wellness is rooted in the Christian anthropology of the human person: that each person is made in the image and likeness of God, with inherent dignity that is meant to be honored and respected, and cannot be earned or taken away.
