Communio: International Catholic Review
Open Reading Group
St. Bernard's Communio Open Reading Group is an effort to come into greater contact with the riches of the Communio journal during its fiftieth year of publication. It will also provide intellectual preparation, exercised through reading and discussion as a community, for the Catholicity as Gift and Task conference at St. Bernard’s from September 30th to October 2nd, 2022. Anyone interested may join; it would be particularly helpful for those already engaged in Communio Study Circles and those that plan on attending the conference.
The Open Reading Group will meet via Zoom once a month on Friday, from January to September, 2022. The Faculty of St. Bernard’s School of Theology and Ministry will lead the sessions, with a brief introduction to the theme and the readings before opening it up for discussion.
When: Fridays, 10am - 12pm EST
Where: Online via Zoom
Who: Led by St. Bernard's Faculty
