In principio

We are forming a new student society in University College Dublin to encourage people to discover some of the great figures of the Catholic tradition. We will be inviting experts to give us a simple introduction to the book of the month: its historical background and subsequent influence, a biographical sketch of the author, and brief summary of the work. Discussion will follow.

Here is an outline of our projected works:

September St.Augustine's Confessions
October Dante's Paradiso
November St.Thomas: Chesterton's Life
January St.Teresa of Avila's Life
February Newman's Idea of a University
March Edith Stein's Life in a Jewish Family
April John Paul II's Fides et Ratio

Our meetings are for all - not only Catholic students - who want an opportunity to familiarize themselves with key figures in our civilization.
