Catholic Social Tradition Conference
University of Notre Dame
March 23—25, 2017
The Early Bird Registration fee is $150. After February 1, 2017, the registration fee will increase to $175. Notre Dame, St. Mary’s, and Holy Cross faculty, staff, and students are no charge, but we ask that you register. The dessert reception on Thursday night, lunch and dinner on Friday, and continental breakfast on Friday and Saturday are included for registered participants (you will be asked to select which meals you want to attend during the registration process). Populorum Progressio by Pope Paul VI is widely regarded as the "magna carta of development" as it provided the basis for many of the Catholic Church’s policies on integral human development. The Soul of Development: 50th Anniversary of Populorum Progressio Conference will address the thematic social justice issues in this seminal modern Catholic social thought document, especially those in the encyclical such as economic justice, international development, solidarity with the poor, peacebuilding and globalization, all of which gave rise to liberation theology and integral human development practices.
