Saxum Scriptorium Logo
In medieval monasteries, the scriptorium (“writing space”) was the room used by the monastics to copy and illuminate manuscripts as a part of their 'ora et labora'. The Saxum Institute’s Scriptorium is intended to serve a similar, yet distinctively modern purpose: to pass on the truths of the Catholic faith through a digital and democratic medium, in light of the contemporary experience of God and the world, wherein we make room for the Cross to draw all things to itself (cf. John 12:32).
