SUMMARY:Rerum Novarum
DESCRIPTION:Seminary Salutes to Labor\, Business\, and Government\nBegun in 1991\, the Seminary Salutes to Labor\, Business\, and Government event was created for  St. Joseph College Seminary’s to support the formation of college men discerning the priesthood.  The event honors lay men and women who are examples of Catholic Social Teaching in action\, especially in the areas of labor\, business and government. \nThe fundamentals of this award are: respect for the dignity of the human being and human labor\, the right to organize\, and the right to a living wage.  The evening provides the seminary with an opportunity to identify Catholic men and women in their fields\, who by their example and work have promoted the social teachings of the Church. Those honored receive the prestigious Rerum Novarum Award from the Archbishop of Chicago at the Seminary Salutes dinner and award ceremony. \n \nAbout Rerum Novarum\nIn response to the excess of the 19th century capitalism and the exaggerated response of socialism\, Pope Leo XIII in 1891 issued the first modern papal encyclical on labor and the dignity of the worker.  This tradition has been adapted and reshaped by Pius XI\, John XXIII\, Paul VI\, and John Paul II as conditions have changed over time. The fundamentals\, however\, have remained constant: respect for the dignity of the human being and human labor\, the right to organize and the right to a living wage. \nIn the United States this tradition has been championed by John Ryan\, Francis Haas\, Walter Reuther\, and Philip Murray among others\, not to mention the innumerable men and women on the local level who have sacrificed so much for this vision. \nThe Church has called upon priests and seminarians to foster these goals\, so it is especially fitting that St. Joseph College Seminary should honor the men and women of our day in business\, labor\, and government who have excelled in their support of these ideals. \nIn 1891 Leo XIII issued the first Papal document in modern times on the condition of Labor\, Rerum Novarum.  He began with an ominous assessment: “The elements of a conflict are unmistakable; the growth of industry and the surprising discoveries of science … the enormous fortunes of individuals and the poverty of the masses . . . and\, finally\, a general moral deterioration.” \nOver a century later\, the challenge remains and involves all of us\, as it always has. The men and women who are the institutions of family\, labor\, business\, government and church must work together to renew the vision and demonstrate a common conviction in the dignity of every human being\, in the value of all human work\, in the power of human solidarity in the face of human greed and exploitation\, and most of all in the coming of Jesus Christ whose death and resurrection are the vindication of all human goodness\, justice and love. \nCheck back for more information\, registration\, and sponsorship opportunities for our upcoming annual Seminary Salutes Rerum Novarum on October 28\, 2025.\n

SUMMARY:Paluch Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The Council of Nicaea 1\,700 years later\n\nWhat do you know about the Council of Nicaea in the year 325? Did you learn about the Council of Nicaea in a religious education class during childhood\, and if so\, what do you remember about what you learned? Have you studied the Council of Nicaea as an adult\, and if so\, why? Perhaps more importantly\, why should we care about the Council of Nicaea today? To mark the 1\,700th anniversary of the Council\, during this presentation\, we will imagine what it was like to attend the Council and then explore how it has had a lasting impact on the Church and our understanding of core Christian convictions. In considering the role of Roman Emperor Constantine I at the Council (he convened the council and participated in its discussions)\, we will also explore how Christians should approach social and political issues today.   \n\nAbout The Paluch Lecture\nThe Paluch Lecture stands as an illustrious annual event within the Catholic intellectual landscape\, epitomizing the pursuit of knowledge\, wisdom\, and a profound understanding of theology.

SUMMARY:Paluch Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Join us on October 24 at 7:00pm for our annual Paluch Lecture. Dr. Harold Horell will present “Synodality and its Discontents”. This presentation will review how the Church has relied on synodal gatherings to discern the guidance of the Spirit from the Council of Jerusalem\, as discussed in Acts of the Apostles\, chapter 15\, through the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) to the present. You will learn what synodality is\, and also learn about the critiques (discontents) voiced of it. Additionally\, the presentation will explore responses to these critiques\, and you will learn how and why synodality is a crucial aspect of the leadership of the Church today.
