Saint Thomas More hosts a variety of programs intended to advance
Catholic intellectual life, both annual lectures and special
events.
The More House
Lecture
The oldest annual program at Saint Thomas More Chapel, this
lectureship brings a distinguished theologian to campus to
present a new work to the Catholic Community.
The Rev. Michael
Gosselin Lecture in Poetry and Faith
Named in memory of a beloved former Catholic Chaplain at Yale,
this annual lecture explores the intersection of poetry and
faith that was a particular interest of Fr. Gosselin, and
is presented each year concurrently with a poetry contest.
Chaplain's Teas
Similar to the popular Yale "Master's Teas," Chaplain's Teas bring noted speakers to the chapel for a brief talk and discussion in a homey setting.
