Common Home Corps

The Hank Center of Loyola University Chicago is proud to support and host the Common Home Corps (CHC). The CHC is a grant-bearing initiative that addresses the related challenges of climate change, youth climate anxiety, Catholic disaffiliation, and lack of the U.S. Church’s fidelity to creation care. This program empowers young adults (18-35) to catalyze climate action in their parishes and dioceses by building on Pope Francis’s “culture of encounter.” The project is collaboratively led by Catholic Climate Covenant, the Hank Center and the School of Environmental Sustainability at Loyola University Chicago, and the Center for Justice and Peace at Creighton University.
Applications for the 2024 program participation will open soon.

Pope Francis, Vatican II, and the Way Forward

In March 2023, the Hank Center was pleased to co-host the second Way Forward Conference. This year's meeting, "The Way Forward: Pope Francis, Vatican II, and Synodality" brought a diverse group of conference attendees to Boston College. Over the course of two days, attendees were provided a forum where bishops, academics, journalists and others could speak frankly to each other about important issues affecting the Church today. We were grateful for our time together in prayer and conversation. This conference was co-sponsored by the Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life at Boston College, and the Fordham University Center on Religion and Culture.
