Public Lectures

Fr. Komonchak is one of the leading interpreters of the legacy of Vatican II. A specialist in the Council's history and theology, Fr. Komonchak is the editor of the English edition of the five-volume History of Vatican II. 

In more than three decades of teaching at the The Catholic University of America (CUA), he has taught courses on the Church, ministry, the Church's social teaching, modern and contemporary Catholic theology and the history and theology of Vatican II. Now retired, Fr. Komonchak devotes his time to continued research, writing, and lecturing.

Please join Catholic Theological Union in a series of lectures as we celebrate and reflect on the 50th anniversary of the convening of the Second Vatican Council by Pope John XXIII in October of 1962. Honoring CTU's own roots in the spirit of renewal and outreach engendered by this Council, we are especially pleased to offer this special opportunity to reflect on the impact and legacy of Vatican II.

You are invited to attend a Sunday afternoon experience with Sr. Mary Frohlich, R.S.C.J., Associate Professor of Spirituality, Thérèse’s “Little Way” and Virtues For An Ecological Age.
