CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY, POLITICS, CULTURE, AND LIFE

Welcome

The mission of the Center for Catholic Social Thought at the Church of the Assumption is to spread the message and practice of Catholic social teaching. Our central themes are Christian community, work and labor, economics, poverty, technology, and education.

Current & Upcoming

Fall Course is Ongoing
Localism, Good Work, and Technological Society

Today each of us is forced to confront fundamental questions about how to live on a daily basis: technology is reaching into ever more remote corners of our lives, and at the same time there is increasing interest among Christians in reconnecting with the land as the source of our material life, finding good work, and living locally. How should we think about these issues as Catholics? What challenges or dangers does technology pose? How do we raise our children, find good work, live in touch with nature, eat well, cultivate real friendships, and live as disciples in the midst of it? This course draws on Scripture, Catholic social teaching, as well as authors such as Wendell Berry, Dorothy Day, Peter Maurin, Ivan Illich and others, to explore these questions. Join us Thursdays, Oct 2-Dec 11, 2025 5:30-7p (No class on 10/9 or 11/27) at Assumption Church, St. Paul. Learn more here

NOTE: Our Tuesday nights Catholic Social Roundtable will be on hiatus until January 2026
