Catholic Studies Consortium National Conference 2026

University of St Thomas, St Paul Minnesota

Conference theme: "THE RENEWAL OF YOUR MIND": CATHOLIC STUDIES AND CATHOLIC HIGHER EDUCATION

In Ex corde ecclesiae, St. John Paul II calls Catholic universities “to a continuous renewal, both as ‘Universities’ and as ‘Catholic’.” More recently Pope Leo XIV called for greater wisdom to “refocus our gaze on the ‘cosmology of Christian paideia’: a vision that, over the centuries, has been able to renew itself and positively inspire all the multifaceted aspects of education.” This renewal the popes speak about demands from university faculty and leaders the ability to read the signs of the times drawing upon the power of tradition and respond with innovation and creativity.
