“Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on these things” (St. Paul to the Philippians 4:8).
The St. Anselm Institute for Catholic Thought is a voluntary organization of Catholic faculty and others dedicated to promoting the vast, life-affirming riches of the Catholic intellectual tradition at the University of Virginia and beyond. Founded in 2000, the Institute supports several activities, including a public lecture series, various reading and discussion groups including a Doctors of the Church lunch seminar series, Catholic arts programs, faculty-student dinners and local field trips, Lenten retreats, and our annual appeal to support Catholic education in Saltadère, Haiti.

@ 8:45am (after 8:00am Mass)
Advent and Poetry invite us to slow down and to contemplate the moment at hand, so on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and the first Reading Day before the start of exams, we invite you and all friends of the Institute to join us as we read, enjoy and discuss the first of T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets, “Burnt Norton.” We'll provide the coffee and a tasty assortment for breakfast.
