Massimo Faggioli will visit the St. Norbert College campus to deliver a lecture as part of the college's annual Killeen Chair series.

Faggioli is an associate professor of theology and is the director for the Institute for Catholicism and Citizenship at the University of St. Thomas. He will lecture during Heritage Week on "From Vatican II to Francis, From 'Gaudium et Spes' to 'Evangelii Gaudium'." The lecture will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 7 p.m. in the FortHoward Theater in the Bemis International Center on the St. Norbert College campus. It is free and open to the public.

This lecture is the third installment of the Killeen Chair of Theology & Philosophy's five-part 2015-16 lecture series, which is titled "Health and the Human Person." The aim of the series is to investigate the uncertainty about the nature of health and its relation to human well-being; it invites the community to join leading scholars who are harmonizing medicine and the humanities as they work to nurture health in its most robust form.
Established in 1984, the Killeen Chair of Theology & Philosophy is dedicated to providing a fuller understanding of theological and philosophical issues by bringing scholars to campus to speak in the fields of biology, psychology, economics, political science, the arts and literature. The wide range of guest scholars invited to the St. Norbert College campus emphasizes the importance of a liberal arts education.

The Killeen Chair is named after the late Sylvester Killeen, O.Praem., the second abbot of St. Norbert Abbey and then-chancellor of the college.
