Reading Groups

The St. Kateri Institute offers the opportunity to read and discuss together the great classics of the Christian intellectual tradition under the guidance of scholars. During our semester-long reading groups, open to Williams College students and all students from nearby colleges, we familiarize ourselves with the great ideas that have shaped the Western tradition and we explore the fundamental questions of the meaning of reality and life.
