Since 1982, the Lectures in Catholic Experience have brought leading scholars, activists, religious leaders and other professionals to St. Jerome’s to offer opportunities for us to engage with the critical issues of our time, particularly as they intersect with faith and the life of the Church. Previous speakers and subjects have included the Director of Springtide Research Institute, Sociologist Dr. Tricia Bruce,  “Her Place in the Church: Gender, Power, and Authority in Contemporary Catholicism,” Archbishop Donald Bolen, Archbishop of Regina, Saskatchewan: “The Wounds of the Past, Truth-telling, and a Future of Hope: The Doctrine of Discovery and the Path of Reconciliation,” Dr. Tia Noelle Pratt, Villanova University: “Doing THE WORK: Anti-Racism and the Catholic Church,” Sister Helen Prejean, CSJ: Dead Man Walking: The Journey Continues...,” and Fr. James Martin, SJ, “Reaching out to our LGBTQ Friends, Building a Bridge.” 

Each lecture is hosted in the Notre Dame Chapel on the St. Jerome’s campus and is free and open to the community to attend. Lectures can be attended in-person, streamed live online or viewed in perpetuity on our .

St. Jerome’s is only able to feature the most relevant, high-profile speakers with the support of our donors. Please consider a gift to St. Jerome’s University in support of the Lectures in Catholic Experience.
