We share this groundbreaking course with our Abbot's Circle members as an expression of our gratitude for their generous accompaniment in our work to save souls for Christ.
In our journey of faith, we often encounter a profound spiritual battle within our hearts and minds. The enemy, with cunning precision, seeks to confuse, distort, and undermine the enduring truths of our Catholic faith. In these moments, we are called to stand firm, anchored in truth, and to courageously defend the light of Christ that guides us.
At St. Michael’s Abbey, we are responding courageously by addressing the root of these challenges through sound catechesis and clear, faithful teaching. To tackle this head-on, we established the Evermode Institute—a beacon of hope and clarity in a world often shrouded in confusion. Originally launched in 2023 to provide deep theological and spiritual formation for Catholic parish school teachers and catechists, the Institute quickly revealed its broader value. We recognized that its teachings could offer invaluable insights to parents, grandparents, young adults, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of our faith.
The creation and growth of the Evermode Institute were made possible through the direct support of our Abbot's Circle members. Their generosity has enabled us to bring this transformative initiative to life, expanding its reach and offering vital formation to individuals seeking to deepen their faith. The Evermode Institute is a testament to the impact of our Abbot's Circle community, whose support makes our work at the Abbey possible.continues to thrive, enabling us to carry out the sacred mission of the Abbey and provide vital formation for all those seeking a closer relationship with God.

"The dialogical format is fantastic… It was excellent to start with skepticism, relativism, and subjectivism which have become intellectual customs, and then to refute them."
