The Torch™ is a Catholic student newspaper produced by members of the Boston College community that reports on Catholic news both on campus and in broader society and probes the vast riches of the Church’s intellectual tradition. Taking seriously the values to which Boston College is committed as a Catholic university, The Torch desires an active and healthy exchange of ideas. Moreover, its chief end is to be a tool for the new evangelization, spreading faith in Jesus Christ as a source of conversion and new life.
