"Allow me then to commend warmly your efforts to respond to this pressing need in the Church."
- Fr. Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R. – Author and IPS Adjunct Professor
"I have found IPS to be in the very forefront of a new emerging approach to therapy and training with a distinct Catholic orientation. Such training and treatment are urgently needed. I am very pleased to be part of this pioneering endeavor and hope it can be replicated throughout the world."
- Dr. Peter Kreeft, Boston College – Author and Professor at Boston College, Guest Lecturer at IPS
"All the contacts I have had with [Gladys Sweeney] and the Institute have firmed up my suspicion that it is the work not just of men and women but also of angels. The personnel, the policies, the curriculum, the faculty, the conception of their vocation, and the providential help they have been receiving at every turn, all seem almost too good to be true. I believe they are rendering a unique and crucial service to both Christendom and our secular culture. … I am deeply impressed by Dr. Sweeney, by all the people I have met who are associated with the Institute – its faculty, its students, their parents, and the ecclesial support of this lay enterprise.
Everything I know about this Institute makes me confident that its graduates are destined to “make waves” in our society that will touch and heal many, many sore souls and make a deep and lasting influence on individuals, families, our culture, and the science of psychology itself. I cannot recommend it too highly and enthusiastically."
- Leonardo Sandri, - Substitute for the Secretary of State of His Holiness Pope John Paul II
"The Holy Father [Pope John Paul II]…was pleased to learn of your efforts to advance the dialogue between Christian faith and the study of theoretical and practical psychology within an anthropological perspective which respects the full truth of the human person. His Holiness sends prayerful good wishes for the work of the Institute."
- The Honorable Rick Santorum, U.S. Senator, Pennsylvania
“IPS is filling a tremendous void in America where so many families are struggling. We are a culture in crisis. IPS is the answer, brining hope and healing to a wounded generation.
