Fr. Vien Nguyen, SCJ, will be one of the speakers at DePaul University’s two-day World Catholicism Week seminar, May 1-2. Titled “Signs of Hope: Finding Jubilee in a Fractured World,” it will be available in-person in Chicago and via livestream. Organizers describe the theme of the event as follows:
“In his recent Spes Non Confundit (‘Hope does not disappoint,’ Romans 5:5), Pope Francis declares hope the central message of the 2025 Jubilee year. In this conference, we will look for signs of hope amid mounting global challenges that drive many to anxiety, cynicism, and despair. Coming from a variety of disciplines, our speakers will discuss the following topics: theologies of hope; politics, violence, and resistance; caring for creation; and ecclesial practices of community and culture.”
