Science & Religion Faith and Reason Days

Faith and Reason Days are exciting opportunities for Catholic high schools to partner with the McGrath Institute for Church Life in providing excellent in-service programming for educators and administrators on topics in science and religion. We work with individual schools to tailor an on-site, in-service experience that meets the particular needs of a school, its teachers, administrators, and students.

Faith and Reason Days are generously supported by the John Templeton Foundation. The Science and Religion Initiative also offers summer seminars at the University of Notre Dame campus and Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans.
