46th Annual Shults Lecture

The Otto A. Shults Lecture Series on Spirituality was born of the dream of Mr. Otto A. Shults, a faithful and generous advocate of St. Bernard’s Seminary, predecessor of St. Bernard’s School of Theology and Ministry.

Following her husband’s death, Mabel Shults vowed to continue the family’s commitment to theological and ministerial education by endowing this Lecture Series, now in its 46th year.

Each year since 1974, the Lectureship has brought distinguished scholars to St. Bernard’s to address theological topics as they relate to the understanding and practice of ministry in the Church.

We are pleased to welcome this year's lecturer, Dr. Jessica Murdoch, who will address the topic of:

"Are Souls Still Worth Saving? Zeal as a Profession of Hope"
