SWLC Study Week 2025

IN COMMUNION WITH CHRIST:
Joys and Hopes for All

64th Annual SWLC Study Week
February 5-8, 2025
Victoria, Texas

“Coming to topics which are practical and of some urgency, the council lays stress on respect for the human person: everybody should look upon his or her neighbor (without any exception) as another self, bearing in mind especially their neighbor’s life and the means needed for a dignified way of life, lest they follow the example of the rich man who ignored Lazarus, who was poor.” (Gaudium et spes 27)

 As we approach the 60th Anniversary of the conclusion of the Second Vatican Council we can look at some of these topics addressed in Gaudium et spes: “marriage and the family, culture, economic and social life, politics, the solidarity of peoples, and peace” (Gaudium et spes 46).  What are ways in which our Liturgy has reflected this openness to the world in the years since the Council, and what are some best practices that can lead us forward?
