Magdalena Institute
Magdalena Institute, situated in the hometown of Mary Magdalene, derives its inspiration from her encounter with Jesus. She was healed, had her dignity restored and was commissioned by Jesus to announce the Good News. Today she is honored as the “Apostle to the Apostles” and offers women of all walks of life a testimony of hope and courage.
The Magdalena Institute maintains a vision of the human person, rooted in scripture and in dialogue with tradition and contemporary culture, stressing that the human person’s dignity springs from being created in God’s image and likeness. The Institute promulgates the equality in dignity of men and women, while respecting their differences and complementary qualities.
The Institute. Our unique goal
The Institute seeks to highlight issues of human dignity – with an emphasis on the dignity of women – and contributions of the feminine genius in both religious history and facets of life today. We hope to engage in important discussions and honor the essential characteristics that women offer humanity. These characteristics can be highlighted in prominent women of the Bible, women through history and contemporary women.
In addition to participating in, promoting and organizing activities that inspire persons to appreciate, respect and value their dignity, Magdalena Institute’s mission embarks the desire to be a support for people seeking spiritual and psychological healing and renewal.
