The Inklings: Catholic Insights into Modern Fiction

Join our literature professor Zach Summers and our chaplain Father Neil Blatchford quarterly to explore the Catholic dimensions of contemporary novels—uncovering themes of grace, redemption, and evangelization through stories, inspired by Bishop Robert Barron's approach to films like The Tree of Life and Star Wars, where cultural narratives become portals to Gospel truths.

Whether you've already read the selected book and seek deeper Christian analysis, or you're curious about its Catholic undertones before diving in, these sessions offer guided discussions to illuminate faith in modern fiction.

When: January 12 @ 6:30 PM

Why: As St. John Paul II emphasized, engaging with stories and media fosters spiritual discernment and shares the Christian message in today's world.

What to Expect: 90-minute conversation led by the Headmaster and Chaplain—no prior expertise required.
