The Leslie and Irene Dubé Chair for Catholic Studies was established in fall 2012 by St. Thomas More College (STM), to provide intellectual leadership for STM and the broader Catholic community through the discipline of Catholic Studies.
The Chair, made possible by Leslie and Irene Dubé’s $1 Million endowment to the College, supports scholarship and research related to Catholic teaching and tradition, fosters Catholic education, and promotes ecumenical dialogue and awareness of other faith traditions.
The Leslie and Irene Dubé Chair for Catholic Studies also sponsors an annual lecture in Catholic Studies exploring topics related to faith and the intellectual life, ecumenical and interfaith dialogue, and Catholic reflections on current issues. Through this lecture series, distinguished scholars engage with key issues of our time and bring the Catholic tradition into dialogue with contemporary culture.
Fully funding the Chair will enable STM to name a respected scholar to act as a beacon of the Catholic intellectual tradition within our community and beyond. Please consider contributing toward this endowed fund, to ensure that the best of Catholic scholarship remains a living tradition emanating from STM to the benefit of students and the wider community.
