Announcing the formation of The Siena Forum for Faith and Culture at The Church of Saint Catherine of Siena (411 East 68th Street, NYC). The Forum's existence is the result of the leadership of Father Jordan Kelly, OP and myself, who feel deeply that The Siena Forum's place in the life of the parish and NYC will offer opportunities for the serious engagement of faith and culture, and hopefully and God-willing, in the greater Church. The work of the Forum is rooted in the thinking of Pope Benedict XVI and the soon-to-be beatified Pope John Paul II, along with the intellectual tradition of Catholicism in general and the Order of Friars Preachers (the Dominican Order).

The Forum's mission

The mission of The Siena Forum for Faith and Culture seeks to critically examine and promote the rich diversity of the Catholic faith and its practices that advance authentic human flourishing and its common good. Our goal is to bridge the gap between faith and reason. The work of the Forum is rooted in relationships among theology, art, culture, since, education; the activities of the Forum include pastoral practice, leadership development, talks, debates courses, seminars, publications, cultural events, and exhibitions to help people integrate their faith in Jesus Christ as a dynamic lived experience.

In the coming months and among others, Patrick Madrid and Mike Aquilina will be speaking at the Forum. Currently, the weekly gathering Communion and Liberation's School of Community meet and organize periodic presentations.
