A Journey of Faith, Knowledge, and Growth
We believe that learning doesn't stop with age - it deepens with wisdom, experience, and faith. Rooted in religious values, our mission is to inspire and support lifelong learners as they grow spiritually, intellectually, and morally. Whether you're exploring scripture for the first time or continuing a lifelong study of your faith, this is a place to deepen your understanding, ask meaningful questions, and connect with a community devoted to continuous growth in God's truth.
Come and listen to a speaker, participate in a group, explore our resources, suggest a topic, or join our Lifelong Learning Committee. Learning is a sacred journey - and it lasts a lifetime. Future Lifelong Learning events will be posted on this page!
For more information, please contact Tina Norton at (872) 307-0796 or [email protected].

Scripture As Our Basis for Catholic Social Justice with Eric Hendry, PhD
Tuesdays, October 13, 20, and 27 at 7:00 PM in Murphy Hall of Saint Edmund Campus
What Catholics are called to do in the world to help build the Reign of God is the heart of the Catholic Social Teachings, which can be grouped in seven focuses:- Life and Dignity of the Human Person
- Call to Family, Community, and Participation
- Option for the Poor and Vulnerable
- Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers
- Solidarity
- Rights and Responsibilities
- Care for God’s Creation
Through thoughtful input and discussion, this series will help participants understand the connection of Catholic Social Teaching to the Bible.
Eric W. Hendry, PhD (Catholic Systematic Theology) has taught theology at the high school, university, and seminary levels for the last twenty-two year. He has also led pastoral ministries in three dioceses for adult formation, religious educators, and youth ministers. He recently oversaw the integration of the New Evangelization and Missionary Discipleship within a large, suburban, multicultural and diverse 5,300 family parish. He is married and the father of a recent DePaul graduate.
