We are here to help businesses and university students connect.

Lumen was founded in 2005 by a group of New York business leaders and Legionaries of Christ priests. Together, they responded to a critical need for faith-based formation for business and cultural leaders, seeking to enhance their character, faith, and leadership skills through personalized and tailored formation, guided training, and education.
The Mission
To form Christian leaders illuminating society with the light of Christ.
Today
Today, Lumen has expanded into several chapters across the United States and is beginning to expand internationally as well.
