This past Saturday, we celebrated the end of the school year with a colloquium. Scholars presented their research and fielded questions from the audience, then they and their guests joined Susan Ramonat, Dr. Karamanski, and Marie in a celebratory toast! Finally, this year’s winner of the Susan Ramonat Award for Scholarly Excellence was announced–congratulations to Garrett Gutierrez, this year’s winner!

“Holy Fools” for a Weekend
This weekend, the 2016-2017 Ramonat scholars lived like “holy fools” at the White Rose Catholic Worker Farm. With open hearts and helpful hands they contemplated a life of voluntary poverty, one committed to sustainable stewardship and local and global anti-violence.
Check out our blogroll in the coming days to read the scholars’ reflections on their experiences and the philosophies of the Catholic Workers Movement.
