In a time when Christian assumptions about the world are rapidly evaporating, how do we continue to be in the world, but not of it, especially as we pursue excellence in our professional lives? How do we live out our calling to work out our salvation, and to help others to work out theirs, in the specialized work we do in service to the earthly city—in medicine, law, journalism, the military, social work, business, and other fields? To what degree are Catholic professionals called not only to live up to the ideals and principles of their professions, but also to rethink those very ideals and principles and thus to reform the professions? Guided by the reflections of noted Catholic professionals in various fields, the 2024 convention of the Fellowship of Catholic Scholars, Catholics in Professional Life, will investigate how Catholics can survive and thrive as we earn our daily bread and leaven our workplaces with the Gospel and our Catholic faith.

Come explore these questions with accomplished Catholic professionals.
