DUC IN ALTUM CONFERENCE

Last October St. Cecilia hosted a gathering of about 150 Catholic educators from across the country at the Duc in Altum Schools Summit. The Summit is an annual event in which Catholic school teachers, campus ministers, and administrators come together for top-notch professional development in a faith-filled environment. Sister John Catherine of the SCA History Department (left) joined Fr. Claude Williams, O.Praem., and Dr. Heather Thomas for a panel discussion about responses to questions of racism and DEI models informed by the dignity of the human person and an understanding of the Church’s social teachings. Dr. Ted Sri of the Augustine Institute (right) offered a keynote on "Who Am I to Judge? - Talking About Morality in a Relativistic World.”
