St. Mary's Distinguished Speaker Series focuses on the intersection of the Catholic faith and the modern world.  The goal is to further the intellectual formation of students, faculty and staff while challenging them to think broadly about our ancient tradition and how it plays a role in modern society and our daily lives.

Lectures feature influential and distinguished speakers at least once a semester.
