REGISTRATION CLOSED
During the course of this one-day seminar, we will seek to articulate what the foundations for a free and virtuous society are. We will then connect the core principles that make up this foundation to how we can address poverty in a way that emphasizes the creative capacity and inherent dignity of the human person.
The seminar will include lectures, discussion, fellowship, and the viewing of two episodes from the Acton Institute’s PovertyCure video series. Please join us!
