Group I: Flannery O'Connor Short Stories
A bit pressed for time? Then this is your group. We'll will meet two Friday afternoons in April to enjoy several Flannery O'Connor short stories. Not familiar with Ms. O'Connor? Don't worry about it: we promise a wonderful and twisted adventure! Not prone to risk-taking? We'll have the experienced and ethereal Religious Studies professor emeritus Bill Wilson on hand to share his helpful insights into the wonderful world of Flannery. Heck, were so convinced that you'll enjoy this group and Flannery O'Connor that we'll buy The Collected Works of Flannery O'Connor for you!

T
he St. Anselm Institute will host a special faculty & friends of the Institute dinner colloquium on Pope Francis's encyclical Laudato Si'! We'll meet at 5:30pm, with a simple Lenten dinner served around 6:15pm. Discussion of the encyclical will follow dinner. Interested attendees are expected to have read Laudato Si', but we've also invited several faculty, including Kevin Hart, Gerry Fogarty SJ, Catholic University of America theology professor Paul Scherz and Fr. Thomas Petri, O.P. of the St..Thomas Institute, to offer initial comments on various parts of the text. After their preliminary comments, we'll open up the discussion to the full group. Given space limitations and as an aid for our dinner preparations, please let us know if you'll be able to join us. Sorry, but limited seats available for this event.
