Major Catholic Speaker


​In 2010 the Center started a Major Catholic Speaker Event.  The goal is to invite a Catholic speaker of significant stature to address a topic of pressing concern to the Catholic Church and the larger society.

(Video seen on the right is our most recent Major Catholic Speaker program in October 2022 with Dr. Cecilia González-Andrieu.)

All of the Major Catholic Speaker videos can be viewed on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/AquinasCenter/videos.
