Faculty Reading Groups
Faculty reading groups are one of CCIH’s Catholic Classic Projects. The purpose of this project is to give Loyolans an opportunity to read and discuss important texts reflective of the Catholic literary heritage. From antiquity to the 21st century, human beings have put into writing their adventures of exploring meaning in a world embraced by God. These innumerable texts are not just a Catholic heritage, but a human heritage—one that CCIH invites all Loyola faculty to discover and enjoy.
