Marial Corona

Marial Corona serves as the Program Coordinator for the Cultural Forum. She holds a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Navarra and a Licentiate in Religious Studies from the Pontifical University Regina Apostolorum. Marial’s research has focused on the intersections between the philosophy of John Henry Newman and American pragmatism, particularly the line developed by Charles Sanders Peirce. Her efforts have resulted in the book The Philosophy of John Henry Newman and Pragmatism: A Comparison, published by CUA Press in 2023. Before joining Lumen Christi, she taught graduate and non-credit courses in several institutions within the Archdiocese of Chicago. She also worked for five years organizing and leading local and international mission trips for young adults. While mission work has allowed her to see the beauty of Christ in countless faces, sharing the truths of our faith is her passion.
