51st Annual Otto A. Shults Lecture Series with Fr. Richard Veras

The Otto A. Shults Lecture Series on Spirituality was born of the dream of Mr. Otto A. Shults, a faithful and generous advocate of St. Bernard’s Seminary - predecessor of St. Bernard’s School of Theology and Ministry.

Following her husband’s death, Mabel Shults vowed to continue the family’s commitment to theological and ministerial education by endowing this Lecture Series, now in its 50th year.

Each year since 1974, the Lectureship has brought distinguished scholars to St. Bernard’s to address theological topics as they relate to the understanding and practice of ministry in the Church. We are honored to welcome this year's lecturer, Fr. Richard Veras, who will address the topic of:

"Unless You Become Like Children: Pastoral Ministry Generated by the Father"
