Many Marquette alumni remember their experiences studying Theology and other liberal arts courses as transformative opportunities to think critically and deepen their faith. Today, undergraduates gain similar experiences through an introductory Theology class based on the book Who Will You Become? An Ignatian Introduction to Catholic Theology, designed to encourage them to think deeply and reflect on meaningful, formative questions. Join co-authors Marquette Chair of Theology Rev. Ryan Duns, S.J., Ph.D., and Associate Professor Conor Kelly, Ph.D., to learn about the process of writing their book, their teaching experiences and key ways they engage students in the course.

During Advent, we celebrate the mystery of the Incarnation, that God assumes the beauty and fragility of our humanity in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. To enter that mystery, we will consider St. Luke the evangelist’s story of the Annunciation as presented in his gospel. The Virgin Mary’s great “yes” to God initiates the movement into the mystery. Join Marquette University Chaplain Rev. James Flaherty, S.J., as we reflect on how Mary helps us to respond to God’s invitation to us during this Advent Season. Henry Tanner’s painting of the Annunciation and the poetry of Denise Levertov will also assist us in the reflection.
We want to hear from you! The Marquette University Alumni Association continues to plan virtual engagement opportunities for alumni, parents and friends including webinars, networking programs, socials, exclusive entertainment and more.
