At a time of increasing polarization, disengagement, and disenchantment in both the Church and the World, the 2024-2025 St. Jerome's Lectures in Catholic Experience series brings together a series of talks by a variety of academics and practitioners who help us understand the potential for solidarity in a time of solitudes. Our speakers this year will challenge us to think about a "religion of the heart" that may not appear in a church pew, remind us of the potential for sport to bridge difference, surprise us with the potential of interfaith dialogue on university campuses, inform our understanding of religion and political polarization, speak to the past, present, and future of a synodal church, and emphasize our collective obligation to people on the margins.
Join us for the 2024-2025 Lectures in Catholic Experience series in the Notre Dame Chapel, located on campus in SJ1 (the classrooms and Library building), Click here for detailed location and map information.
