Doctores Ecclesiae
The St. Anselm Institute for Catholic Thought cordially invites you to attend one or more of its Doctors of the Church lunches. The goal of this series is to provide a friendly setting for students and faculty from different parts of the University to meet and to discuss the life and works of the 33 Doctors of the Church. A different Doctor will serve as a focal point for each lunch.
Several UVA faculty will attend and lead each session. Prior familiarity with the Doctors is not required, but a short reading by one of the Doctors will be posted for all faculty and students participants. Regardless of your area of study or year, University of Virginia undergraduate, graduate as well as Law, Medical, and Darden School students are welcomed to attend. Space, however, is limited so reservations by individuals will be required for each session. If you are interested in participating in the next session, simply email the Institute at:
