Upcoming Conferences
Women of the Church: A Catholic Leadership Forum | 2023 National Conference
July 19-21, 2023 | St. John's School of Theology and Seminary, Collegeville, MN
When it comes to women in the Church, the Spirit is stirring.
Join us July 19-21, 2023 in Collegeville, MN for the third Women of the Church national conference. Sponsored by Saint John’s School of Theology and Seminary. The conference will do as St. Paul urged the early Roman Church: to Welcome Her and all her extraordinary gifts.
Everyday, through diverse vocations, women share their leadership skills, liturgical and ministerial talents, theological insight, and prophetic imagination. Come celebrate these gifts and, in community with others, imagine a Church even more welcoming of women.

Exhibit: Visualizing Place — Maps from The Bancroft Library
March - June 2023 | More Details
Visualizing Place: Maps from The Bancroft Library highlights the Library’s diverse and extensive map holdings. Selected from across Bancroft’s collections, these works chart the evolution of cartography from the early printed atlas born during the period of European contact to contemporary maps displaying cultural, social, and imaginary narratives—from those that show California as an island to those that help us examine a place, be it a city, a region, or a nation. Whether printed, hand-drawn, or digitally produced, maps help us understand our own neighborhoods, our broader region, and our global environment. There is no right way to look at a place in time, but, together, these map selections allow us to visualize the familiar through a different lens.
