The Center for Catholic Thought at Creighton University serves
the Catholic community through a series of programs designed to explore and promote the Church’s intellectual tradition.
The Catholic Church has a long history of engaging

The Center currently sponsors the podcast “Catholic Comments” and the annual Michael G. Lawler lecture series. Additional programming will be implemented in the next few years.
