The Fellowship of Catholic Scholars

Come share the intellectual life.

Five Decades of Catholic Fellowship

Founded in 1979, the Fellowship of Catholic Scholars exists to serve Jesus Christ by helping scholars and professionals to put their intellectual life more fully at the service of the Catholic Church.  The Fellowship draws members from many academic disciplines and professions—from theology and philosophy to the arts, social sciences, law, and the sciences.

Lectures, Conversations, Friendship

Lifelong intellectual friendships have often formed among Fellowship members. Committed to the highest scholarly standards, the Fellowship’s Annual Convention brings together academics and professionals convinced that “faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth” (Fides et ratio).

Continue the Conversation in the Written Word

Read and contribute to our long-standing, peer-reviewed Fellowship of Catholic Scholars Quarterly and our series Teaching the Faith, commentaries on the Sunday Mass readings written by Catholic scholars from across the disciplines.

With the grace of God for which we pray, we hope to assist the whole Church to understand its own identity more clearly, to proclaim the joyous Gospel of Jesus more confidently, and to carry out its redemptive mission of all humankind more effectively.”
