Lenten Lecture Series

Faith, Food, and the Environment

Each year during Lent, on the five Wednesdays between Ash Wednesday and Holy Week, the St. Kateri Institute offers a series of lectures focused on a theme within the Catholic intellectual tradition.


Past series have taken up such topics as “Virtue and Happiness,” “God’s Love and the Eucharistic Imagination,” and “Faith, Hope, and Love: Reflections on the Theological Virtues.” Among the excellent speakers who have contributed to the lecture series are Christopher Thompson, Fr. Bryan Daley, S.J., Phil and Carol Zaleski, Fr. Cajetan Cuddy, O.P., and Daria Spezzano.
