About Magis Center Mission

Magis Center's Mission:

We exist to turn the rising tide of unbelief in our culture through contemporary, rational, and science-based evidence.

Many young people today have the preconceived notions that science and faith are mutually exclusive, there is no such thing as a soul, and God is just an illusion of hope. There is a great need for a practical defense of the Catholic Faith that meets the surrounding culture in materialism and scientism.

As more young people leave the faith, Magis Center seeks to answer the conflict of science and faith with sound scientific research and clearly communicate the reasonability and truthfulness of the Catholic Faith.

Why the Need for Contemporary, Rational, and Scientific Evidence?

Young people are leaving the Church at alarming rates. In 2014, the PEW Research Center Survey reported that millennials are abandoning religious affiliation (becoming agnostic or atheistic) much more than previous generations:

41% Catholics between the ages of 16-35 who abandon belief in Jesus Christ and God.

82% Number of millennials who have left religion due to a perceived contradiction between faith and science.

63% Number of millennials who left religion because of a “lack of evidence.”

Magis Center Mission

Magis ("màh-gis") is Latin for "more" or "greater." A motto of St. Ignatius, it is related to ad majorem Dei gloriam, meaning "for the greater glory of God."

We exist to turn the rising tide of unbelief in our culture through contemporary, rational, and science-based evidence.

Why the Need for Contemporary, Rational, and Scientific Evidence?

Help us continue to provide free resources to parents, teachers, catechists, clergy, and the curious.
