"The Best of Catholicism: What Vatican II Offers Us Today"
As the Catholic Church around the world continues along the synodal journey, we recall the ongoing
relevance of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65). The council continues to offer large themes of lasting
value, pointing toward the very best of the Catholic faith. This presentation will reflect on some of these
themes, what they have meant in the life of the church, and what they might mean into the future.

November 7th, 2025 3:30 p.m. GSC 330
The upcoming 75th anniversary of the commencement of operations at Fernald provides an excellent opportunity for both neighbors and scholars to revisit Fernald’s history. We are creating a Fernald sourcebook that includes a selection of technical reports, oral histories, articles from employee publications and the general news media, and scholarly and medical literature about the site.
Join us for snacks and good conversation!
