Welcome to the Center for Catholic Thought and Culture
Though the Center is in its nascent stage, its agenda is ambitious:
- To develop thought-provoking programs that will engage the University and local community in critical dialogue with the Catholic intellectual tradition
- To promote Catholic Social Teaching and its integration into the academic life of the University community
- To provide conferences, liturgical and cultural events and exhibits that showcase the Catholic Church’s rich heritage and its contributions to the arts, letters and sciences and to all which ennobles humans to pursue what is right and just
- To provide faculty with opportunities and financial support to develop quality courses that expose students to the Catholic intellectual tradition
From its inception, the Church has been a community of faith and service. Historically, Catholicism has also always been a community of inquiry, learning and reasoned discourse. Though the focus of CCTC’s programs and cultural events is Catholic, people of all faith traditions and people of none, are most welcome to attend CCTC sponsored events and benefit from the exchange of ideas.
Please take a moment to visit our Web site. Though our beginnings are modest, it is our hope that in a short time CCTC will develop into a vital Center for Catholic Thought and Culture for the University and local community.
