The Institute sponsors summer conferences in apologetics at Santa Croce University in Rome, and also conducts pilgrimages to holy places in Rome, Florence, and Jerusalem.
The inaugural 2022 conference is entitled: “Recovering a Lost Anthropology.” We will have seminars to explore the wisdom of the Fathers of the Church on key theological issues, along with guided tours to appreciate the sublime creations of Catholic art and architecture. The conference is sponsored by The Formation Foundation, in partnership with the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross. You can learn more about the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross here.
The week will be rich in the spirit of pilgrimage. Participants will visit the sites — in Rome and nearby towns — related to the seminar lectures. There will be daily opportunities to explore archeological treasures and pray at shrines that were important to the early Christians. Engaging the senses is key to forming a Catholic imagination and cultivating a deep sense of history.
