What People Have to Say about CLA

  • As both a participant and instructor with Catholic Literary Arts, I’ve experienced firsthand the power of these workshops to nourish and sustain the writing life. The weekly format is manageable even with a busy schedule, and the supportive environment fosters both creativity and accountability—I’ve drafted over a dozen poems this year alone. As an instructor, I’m continually inspired by the commitment, curiosity, and generosity of the writers I have the privilege to teach.

  • We couldn't be happier that our son will be part of the Teen Writers Mentorship program again this year. His experiences with the summer writing camps and this program have provided him encouragement, expanded his understanding, and shown him the manifest joy of writing.

  • Since coming to the U.S., your Fearless Catholic Writing Program is the best thing we have found. As first-generation immigrants, we struggle to express our ideas. Your program has given my daughter the ways and words to express what is inside her.
