What good can come from slavery, an evil that strips humans of their natural liberty and threatens faith in a just God? Like many unfortunates throughout history, St. Patrick confronted these questions when he was captured and enslaved by Irish raiders. Yet Patrick did the unthinkable, transforming slavery into a model of statesmanship, one that was based in Christian faith and determined to achieve liberty, even for the very people who had enslaved him.

Creating Unity Through Self-Discovery in Faith, Hope, and Love

Welcome to the Faith and Liberty Discovery Center. No matter who you are, where you’re from, or what you believe, we hope that you will come and visit. When you do, you will find a piece of yourself in the story of America. American values like faith, liberty, justice, hope, unity, and love have shaped our country, drawn new immigrants here, and formed us as a people. These same values have motivated some of our greatest cultural moments and political achievements—from independence, to emancipation, to women’s suffrage, to civil rights. And these values have pulled us through the nation’s darkest days of war, domestic strife, and terrorist attacks.

We invite you to explore these values, their source, and the incredible lives of people they have inspired from America’s founding through today. We hope that as you step into this journey of exploration, you will discover that these stories of great Americans illuminate the values that still unite us today. And we hope these values are an inseparable part of your story, too.
