"this wonderful institution offers a philosophy of teaching in radical contrast to the moribund model of Catholic further education found in this country and much of the West."
"teaches not only the liberal arts and trains Eastern-rite Catholic priests, but also places a community of mentally and physically handicapped people at the centre of its spiritual and social life."
This is similar to a program not affiliated with the university in the U.S. I will get back to you with the name. Also if I am not mistaken this idea may have come from MacIntyre and his ideas of community.

"The Ukrainian Catholic University is an open academic community living the Eastern Christian tradition and forming leaders to serve with professional excellence in Ukraine and internationally – for the glory of God, the common good, and the dignity of the human person.
Type of institution: A private institution for education and research. Founded by the St. Clement Fundation, whose elected head is Patriarch Lubomyr (Husar), the head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church."
They don't just preach Catholicism. They don't just teach sound theology and foster an environment of prayer. Do those things but live the Catholic life to. Ora et labora.
