Growing in Faith: The Journey of a Lifetime

The Church in the 21st Century Center announces its year-long thematic focus for 2009-2010 will be: "Growing in Faith: The Journey of a Lifetime."  Embracing this theme, the next  C21 Resources will land in mailboxes in early September, and a calendar of programs and events will populate the website soon.  Please visit: www.bc.edu/church21

 

Must See Webcast: A Conversation With Jesus Christ

This month's C21 Center's featured webcast delivers a remarkable conversation that Padraig O'Malley, the Moakley Professor of Peace and Reconciliation at UMass (Boston), has with Jesus Christ on peacemaking, faith and the meaning of human life.  Don't miss this! For a transcript, please e-mail : church21@bc.edu.

 

Book Celebrates Faith and Our Church

Two Centuries of Faith: The Influence of Catholicism on Boston: 1808-2008, the newest C21 Book Series release, was commissioned by Boston College as a gift from the University to the Archdiocese of Boston and presented by University President, William P. Leahy, SJ, to Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley, archbishop of Boston, at a reception.  The book was edited by University Historian, Thomas H. O'Connor, and is quickly flying off the shelves.

 

Become a C21 Center Ambassador

The NEW C21 Ambassador program was designed to empower Boston College students, during the summer months, to create a strategic link between their home parish and the abundance of resources found at the Church in the 21st Century Center.  Participating students are mailed a C21 Resource Kit, to share with their church, filled with information on the Center's hallmark publications, its award-winning book series, reading lists, access to online courses and over 100 free audio/video streaming programs and other faith formation programs and events .  You don't have to be a student to be an ambassador; are you interested? Email: church21@bc.edu today!

 

Thank you to the hundreds and hundreds of people who participated in our recent C21 Resources survey.  Your input is greatly valued and will help us continue to provide significant resources to strengthen the Church.  We have notified the 5 survey winners, selected at random from all participants, from as far away as Australia and England, and from California, Texas and Massachusetts. The winners will receive either a BC FAN Pack or the latest books in the C21 Book Series, "Prophetic Witness" and "Two Centuries of Faith."
