2017 Catholic Social Tradition Conference

(part of a series)

Location: University of Notre Dame

Populorum Progressio by Pope Paul VI is widely regarded as the "magna carta of development" as it provided the basis for many of the Catholic Church’s policies on integral human development. The Soul of Development: 50th Anniversary of Populorum Progressio Conference will address the thematic social justice issues in this seminal modern Catholic social thought document, especially those in the encyclical such as economic justice, international development, solidarity with the poor, peacebuilding and globalization, all of which gave rise to liberation theology and integral human development practices.

The Early Bird Registration fee is $150.  After February 1, 2017, the registration fee will increase to $175. Notre Dame, St. Mary’s, and Holy Cross faculty, staff, and students are no charge, but we ask that you register. Click here to register.
