Memorize the Faith!
Dr. Vost will explain how Sts. Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas revived and transformed the ancient Greco-Roman “art of memory,” provide a live demonstration with the audience, and show how teachers and students can adapt these ancient methods to learn and remember just about anything. You’ll also hear the story of how Memorize the Faith! came to be written.

Dr. Catherine Moran
Overwhelmed, Unmotivated, Disobedient, Under-challenged, or Just Plain Lazy?
Is your child struggling to learn, or avoiding it? Are there days when teaching your child turns into “who’s in control—me or my child?” We all want our children to be obedient and diligent, especially where their studies are concerned. Learn some helpful tips on how to teach these virtues to your children—tools they need to be successful.

Deacon Eugene McGuirk
