The Pilgrim Forum

The Pilgrim Forum is a series dedicated to sharing information and spurring thought and discussion around the basic tenets of the Catholic faith and tradition. Beginning in October 2014 the Pilgrim Forum engaged The Apostles' Creed for over eight years. Our esteemed presenters - drawn from SNC scholars, church leaders, and nationally renowned theologians, considered the creed article-by-article as the series sought to shed light on its founder’s burning question - What does our faith mean to us today?

Having journeyed from “I believe” to “Amen,” we brieflyh turned our attention to leaders and models of faith, purposefully considering what we can learn from the lives of saints, popes and Mother Mary,

In Fall 2024, we began the next major series of lectures, which will focus on understanding the Christian faith through the lens of each of the mysteries of the Rosary. 

This series is made possible through the generosity of The Dan Ritter Family (1932 - 2019). 

Pilgrim Lectures are free and open to the public, but as a breakfast lecture does require advanced registration.
