Sacred Heart University was honored to host the 2023 Catholic Studies Symposium. We thank all the participants who attended this Symposium, which attested to the important role that Catholic Studies has in our universities and colleges bringing Catholic thought, imagination and social justice across the disciplines and professions. We look forward to the important work that lies ahead as we develop our consortium into a more official organization. Many thanks to our co-sponsors: Seton Hall, Duquesne, Loyola – Chicago. We look forward to our 2024 meeting at Seton Hall.
