Went there a while ago and brother sent 2 sons there. Religion is not a focus although the Formation program is one which helps students recognize that giving back to the community, raising funds for charities, etc is a part of the culture there. For example, second year both of them went to Costa Rica to build homes with Habitat for Humanity over Spring. They were required to raise at least half of the money needed. My nephews called each aunt and uncle and also went to a few local businesses to ask for money to support their trip. My brother said the feeling is, you need to teach students to be able to talk to others about supporting a cause you believe in as well as giving to charity as a lifelong commitment. One went to Notre Dame for MBA, the other to Cornell. ND grad working in Chicago where his wife is from and the other for a large consulting firm in Boston (after Cornell MBA).
