Commencement Address | Anne Carroll | Commencement 2026

Anne Carroll, founder of Seton School, Seton Home Study, and wife of late Christendom College founder Dr. Warren Carroll, delivered this year’s Commencement Address and received an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters in recognition of her outstanding contributions to Catholic faith, culture, and public life. Carroll, who has shaped generations of students over her 50-year career in education, reflected on pivotal moments of crisis in Church history during her address, including the reign of King Henry VIII and the landmark Land o’ Lakes Statement of 1967 that directly led to Christendom’s founding. Through these stories, Carroll emphasized that while darkness has repeatedly emerged throughout history, hope has risen in response to it time and time again — proof that one man or one woman can make a difference for the better.
