Holy Spirit Lecture and Colloquium

The Annual Holy Spirit Lecture and Colloquium is an expression of Duquesne’s mission and charism as a University founded by the Congregation of the Holy Spirit and dedicated
to the Holy Spirit.

This ongoing series of lectures and colloquia encourages the exploration of ideas pertaining to the theology of the Holy Spirit within an ecumenical context and in dialogue with contemporary issues. Lectures are published and mailed out gratis, while also being available on this website.

2013 Lecture

We regret to inform you that we had to cancel Duquesne University's 2012 Holy Spirit Lecture and Colloquium initially scheduled for Friday, Oct. 5, 2012. Our keynote speaker, Fr. Lambert J. Leijssen, emeritus professor at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium, is unable to attend.

At the same time, please know that Msgr. Dr. Paul McPartlan will be our lecturer next year. He is a professor of systematic theology and ecumenism at the Catholic University of America, as well as a respected scholar and Church representative at many theological dialogues. Msgr. McPartlan is scheduled to give the eighth annual Holy Spirit Lecture on Friday, Oct. 11, 2013, in the Power Center Ballroom at Duquesne University. We will post additional details about the event in due time.

Please continue to support our event through your interest in the theology of the Holy Spirit, prayers and good wishes.
