Where: Penn Newman Catholic Center

You can learn a lot of theology from a short story.

Join Collegium and the Newman Catholic Community this February for three late dinners/informal seminars before the late Sunday Mass.

Together we will read and discuss short stories that every Catholic should encounter, featuring authors such as Flannery O’Connor, Madeleine L’Engle, Graham Greene, Georges Bernanos, G.K. Chesterton, and Andre Dubus.

Catholic faith opens our imagination and expands our vision of the world. Ordinary flesh and blood becomes pregnant with spiritual possibility. What do Catholics believe about nature and creation, sacrifice and fulfillment, morality and community, love and redemption? And what can we learn about who we really are, and how we are to live? The Spirit can move in literature, revealing itself in a glance between two characters, in the way a person moves or speaks, in the way that the light falls. And a great author can capture it all in a short story...

Come read some stories with the Collegium Institute’s resident theologian,

Dr. Christopher Roberts
