SUMMARY:How to Run Away From Home: Preparing for College as a Catholic
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Archdiocese of Chicago Vocations Office and the University of St. Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary. \n  \n\n\n \nYou’ve been told since you started school that you need to go away to college. Leave home\, get an education\, and begin “adulting.” \n\n\n \nEveryone has a “guide” for the journey: Kaplan\, Fiske\, US News\, Princeton Review\, and so on. \n\n\n \nBut if you’re looking for an account of how to leave home in order to find it\, you won’t find a better guide than Scripture\, believe it or not. The Bible can be considered one big story of leaving home in order to find it\, along with the hazards and holy moments along the way. It’s inspired countless Christians to journey\, to search\, to become pilgrims. \n\n\n \n>> Don’t make a decision about where you’ll go or who you’ll be in college without considering this conference. << \n\n\n \nJoin us as we explore the theme of “leaving home” in Scripture\, literature\, and history. From Genesis to Revelation\, we’ll explore how the theme of “leaving home” is developed and elaborated. Then\, we will look at the life of St. Anthony the Great\, who decided to leave home and go to the desert simply by hearing the Gospel. \n\n\n \n  \nHow should you leave home? Come find out. \n\n\n\n\n \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n\n\n \nOpen to all high school students. \n  \nSchedule: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n9-9:30am Registration and Grab-and-Go Breakfast \n\n\n \n9:30-9:45am Welcome and Opening Prayer \n\n\n \n9:45-10:15am Lecture #1 on Salvation History \n\n\n \n10:15-10:30am Q&A #1 \n\n\n \n10:30am-11:15am Break and Game \n\n\n \n11:15-11:45am Lecture #2 on the life of St. Anthony \n\n\n \n11:45am-12:00pm Q&A #2 \n\n\n \n12:00pm-1:00pm Grab-and-Go Lunch & Discussion Group \n\n\n \n1-1:30pm Eucharistic Adoration \n\n\n \n1:30-2:30pm Reflection Time \n\n\n \n  \nCost: $20. Scholarships are available. Parents and teachers who bring students can attend for free. \n(Learn more about this and other Newman Forum events at the NEW! Newman Forum website: www.newmanforum.org)

SUMMARY:Creation: Artistic & Divine
DESCRIPTION:This event was open to high school students\, parents\, and teachers. \nCo-sponsored by Mundelein Seminary\, the Archdiocese of Chicago Vocation Office\, Relevant Radio\, and the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame. This program was made possible in part by a gift from the Paluch Family Foundation and a grant from the Our Sunday Visitor Institute. \nFollow us on Instagram for updates about the event. \n\nPhysics tells us how the universe is ordered\, but can it tell us why? How are the laws of physics like a baseball rulebook? And why should we expect the universe to operate according to regular laws anyway? \nIf God created all things at the beginning of time\, what are artists doing when they “create” a beautiful work of art? Can one thing be more beautiful than another? How are beauty and art related to God? \nJoin us on February 15\, 2020 at the University of Chicago as Professors Stephen Barr (Physics\, U of Delaware\, President of Society of Catholic Scientists) and Jennifer Newsome Martin (Theological Aesthetics\, Notre Dame’s Department of Liberal Studies) help high school students from throughout the region investigate the physics of creation and the theology of creativity. \nContact Austin Walker for more information or with questions. \n\nDay Schedule \n8:30   Breakfast and Registrations (Swift Hall Common Room) \n9:00   Introductions and Prayers (Swift Hall 3rd Floor Lecture Hall) \n9:15   Icebreaker \n9:30    Lecture: Steve Barr with Q&A (35 min lecture\, 15 min Q&A) \n10:20   Break \n10:30   Lecture: Jenny Martin with Q&A (35 min lecture\, 15 min Q&A) \n11:30   Lunch and Discussion Groups (2nd and 3rd Floor Swift Classrooms) \n1:00   Adoration \n1:30   Discussion/Q&A among Barr\, Martin\, and Students

SUMMARY:The Making of a Modern Saint:  John Henry Newman on Faith and Education in a Secular Age
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by Mundelein Seminary\, the Archdiocese of Chicago Vocation Office\, and the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame. This program is made possible in part by a gift from the Paluch Family Foundation and a grant from the John Templeton Foundation. \nFollow us on Instagram for updates about the event. \n\nHave you ever wondered why you go to school? Or what the point of it all is? What goes into making a big decision? And how do you fit together everything you know–or even the past with the future? \nJohn Henry Newman will be canonized on October 13th. On October 19th\, we’ll celebrate his life and thought. \n\n\nIn the morning\, Dwight Lindley from Hillsdale College will talk about\, “Conversion\, the Key to Newman’s Life and Thought.” Newman understood his own conversion to be a gradual realization of what his most-deeply held principles required of him–it wasn’t some shallow “emotional” feeling. And Newman’s understanding of conversion helped him to give an account of the Church’s development over time (and how that development is both similar to and different from Darwinian evolution!).\n\nIn the afternoon\, Dave Deavel from University of St. Thomas will tell us about Newman’s idea of education. He will help us ask what a true education is. What does it mean to seek “knowledge for its own sake”? What does it mean when Newman describes the whole of knowledge as a “circle”? How do all the “subjects”—biology\, history\, philosophy\, theology\, and the rest—in the circle fit together? What unites them? Does theology have to be part of true education? How does “being educated” relate to my career? We’ll talk about all this and more in this lecture.\n\nThere will also be food\, games\, outdoor competitions\, and a prize for the winners.\n\n\nSCHEDULE \n9:00am Registration and Breakfast\n10:00am Welcome & Introductions\n10:15am Opening Prayer\n10:30am Prof. Lindley lecture on Newman’s life and times\n11:45am  Lunchtime discussion group\n1:00pm Outdoor activity\n2:15pm Prof. Deavel lecture on Science\, University\, and Liberal Education\n3:30pm Discussion Groups\n4:30pm Mass (optional)\n5:45pm Pizza Party (optional)
