Luce Grant Initiative

Seminars, Scholarship, and Events

Catholicism and the Common Good is a multi-year project that fosters original scholarship on issues that are vital to our mutual wellbeing, forges collaborative networks across public and private stakeholders, and imagines the future of Catholic higher education. The project is hosted by the Center for Catholic Faith and Culture at Duquesne University, and generously supported by the Henry Luce Foundation.

SIGNATURE EVENT

The United Pittsburgh Speaker Series featured prominent leaders who discussed Pittsburgh's most pressing challenges--and meaningful solutions to advance the common good--in a series of public presentations to students and community residents alike. These free community forums were open to the public.
