“The DoSER program will provide science resources to assist Holy Apostles as we educate seminarians on the relationship between faith and science.” – Very Rev. Peter S. Kucer, MSA, President-Rector

“Thanks to the DoSER program, Holy Apostles will be able to share with its community some concrete methods to strengthen our understanding of the relationship between science and our Catholic faith.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, Vice-President of External Affairs, Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies, and Program Director

“Seeing science as the study of God’s handiwork changes the way you see the world. Thanks to the DoSER program, Holy Apostles can share this great synthesis of awe and wonder with seminarians.” Dr. Stacy Trasancos, Program Coordinator and Webinar Instructor

This workshop teaches non-scientist members of our community how to articulate developments in current research in biological or biochemical fields (with particular emphasis on evolutionary biology, genetics, or neuroscience) by reading scientific papers and reviewing how to classify the conclusions in scientific papers as neutral, contradictory, or consistent with the tenets of our Catholic faith.

Faculty sessions will be open to all faculty at Holy Apostles and its partnering schools beginning on Monday, September 13, at 3:00 pm Eastern and continuing every Monday through October 18.

Non-faculty sessions will be open to all members of our community (students – both current and prospective – alumni, donors, supporters, etc.) beginning on Thursday, September 16, at 7:00 pm Eastern and continuing every Thursday through October 7.
