The MacTaggart Catholic Intellectual Tradition Lecture Series featuring Jonathan Tran • February 25, 2025
From Loretta Sanchez
St. Mary’s University welcomes you to a free, annual lectures series that engages the Catholic Intellectual Tradition – a tradition at the heart of the educational enterprises at St. Mary’s.
Glenn MacTaggart (J.D. ’79, M.A. ’89), longtime attorney and counsel with Prichard Hawkins Young LLP, and his wife, Karla MacTaggart, gave a major gift to St. Mary’s University to create the MacTaggart Catholic Intellectual Tradition Lecture Series Endowment.
The lecture series is a cornerstone of the Center for Catholic Studies which is a result of the University’s Defining Moment Comprehensive Campaign.
The Spring 2025 lectures focus on aspects of the Catholic Intellectual Tradition that can be helpful for addressing issues or problems we, as a society, are facing. Our speakers will focus on three areas through a constructive lens — Community, Law and the Environment.
