STM Celebrates 10 Years

As part of the STM ten year anniversary celebration, Fr. James Martin, S.J., editor at large for America magazine, offered the first annual Daniel Harrington Lecture.

What do we mean by community?

Our sense of community, as a school and as part of the wider global Church, informs all that we do. As a diverse, international community dedicated to formation, what we study, how we pray, learn, and grow—and why we feel called to do so—is all understood within the context of caring community.
