Founded in 1999 by Thomas Hamel, Redeemer Pacific College (RPC) is a Catholic liberal arts college located just outside of Langley, British Columbia. RPC has a unique partnership with Trinity Western University (TWU), providing students with a solid foundation in Catholic liberal arts as they work towards an undergraduate degree in any one of the 40 + undergraduate majors offered by TWU. Redeemer Pacific College is an "orthodox" Catholic College, meaning that its teaching is faithful (i.e. accords) to the teaching of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
The primary goal of RPC's academic program is to provide any Catholic students who are attending Trinity Western University with the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and understanding of their own faith tradition. RPC courses are also open to any TWU student, and help to promote mutual understanding between Catholic and TWU's primarily Evangelical students. All RPC professors are highly qualified professionals in their fields, and all adhere to the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Along with a focus on orthodox Catholic teaching and solid intellectual formation, RPC offers opportunities for spiritual and social development. Mass is celebrated in RPC's chapel 4 times per week, and rides are available from campus to the nearby parish every Sunday. Students also have access to the Blessed Sacrament at RPC, as well as regular confessions and Adoration.
