Catholic Studies

Thursday Nights

Every Thursday, we meet at Ignatius House for a talk (8 p.m.), mass (9 p.m.), and refreshments (after mass). All are welcome. If there's class, there's mass (and a pre-mass talk!). Catholic Studies and AMDG cooperate to put on the talk every Thursday.

Thursday Night Catholic Studies Talk Series: 
Goodness, Truth, and Beauty

The unity of the good, the true, and the beautiful is an ancient idea that both inspires and is inspired by the Catholic tradition throughout the ages. We can come to know truth through beauty, encounter goodness through knowing the truth, and discover beauty in what is good. We can better become better acquainted with God through all three, as their unitary source. Come join us for a conversation about all that is good, true, and beautiful!
