Summer Classes

This summer we have have been having a series of classes with Fr. Doug Wathier. Fr. Wathier, a former Loras College professor and currently pastor of St. Mary’s Church in Waverly, Iowa.

Our classes have been on Christian anthropology. We’ve had classes on Irenaeus, Augustine, Hadewjich, Julian of Norwich and Karl Rahner. Our last class was tying it all together with the theme Christian anthropology. The monks of New Melleray joined us for the classes. Fr. Wathier is a very interesting and great teacher. We really enjoyed his classes.
