Guest: Fr. Charles Sikorsky, president of Divine Mercy University
Raised in suburban Maryland, Fr. Charles Sikorsky attended Catholic schools and followed the cultural trend of drifting away in college. An accomplished basketball player who went on to law school, he experienced a gut check upon the sudden death of a former teammate. Realigning his vision, Sikorsky left a productive law practice to join the priesthood as a Legionary of Christ. Ordained in 2002, he received several prestigious degrees before being elected president of Divine Mercy University (DMU) in 2007.
DMU meets needs not addressed in other university settings. Located in Sterling, Virginia, DMU is an institution of higher education offering graduate degrees, continuing education, and certificate programs focusing on the renewal of the Catholic-Christian intellectual tradition. DMU is dedicated to the scientific study of psychology with a Catholic understanding of the person, marriage, and the family. It offers a Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology, a Master of Science degree in Psychology, a Doctorate in Counselor Education Supervision, and a Master of Science in Counseling. Their certificate programs, such as their Center for Spiritual Direction, Foundations of Advanced Clinical Supervision, and Center for Trauma and Resiliency Studies, provide accessible, high-quality formation to help students reach their next level.
Guest biography: Fr. Charles Sikorsky, L.C., has devoted himself to growing Divine Mercy University’s place in academia, the Church, our nation, and the world. A canon and civil lawyer trained in philosophy and theology from Baltimore, MD, Fr. Charles earned his law degree from The University of Maryland School of Law after obtaining a B.A. in political economy from The Johns Hopkins University. Upon entering the seminary, he earned degrees in philosophy and theology from the Regina Apostolorum Pontifical University and a Licentiate in Canon Law at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. He was a proud member of the 1982 national champion basketball team at his high school, Calvert Hall of Towson, MD. Fr. Charles was ordained to the priesthood in Rome on December 24, 2002, by the now-Cardinal Leonardo Sandri. Fr. Charles resides in Ashburn, VA, with his community of the Legionaries of Christ. He is an avid sports fan and supports his hometown teams, the Ravens and the Orioles.
