As part of its seminar activity, the Markets, Culture and Ethics (MCE) research centre will carry out a new seminar series entitled Holiness Through Work: Commemorating the Encyclical Laborem Exercens.

The activity consist of 5 meetings, accessible free of charge, that will be held from March to June 2023 at Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, according to the following schedule:

• 28 March | The Bible and the Fathers of the Church on Work (Prof. Msgr. Martin Schlag, Prof. Giulio Maspero, Prof. Paolo Prosperi) 
• 18 April | Good Work: Insights from the Subjective Dimension of Work (Dr. Michael Naughton, Prof. Msgr. Martin Schlag, Prof. Giulio Maspero) 
• 9 May | Laborem Exercens: A Protestant Appreciation (Rev. Dr. Richard Turnbull, Rev. Prof. Paul O'Callaghan, Prof. Giulio Maspero) 
• 30 May | Confronting a Technocratic Future: Women’s Work and the Church’s Social Vision (Dr. Deborah Savage, Prof. Ilaria Vigorelli, Prof. Giulio Maspero) 
• 21 June | Contemplation at Work: A Theological Conversation Between John Paul II and Josemaría Escrivá (Prof. Msgr. Martin Schlag, Rev. Prof. Cristian Mendoza, Prof. Giulio Maspero) - 

The seminar series is based on the last publication of Msgr. Martin Schlag. To mark the 40th anniversary of John Paul II's encyclical on human work, published in 1981, a group of globally-recognized scholars presents the critical aspects of this document and its purpose. These original essays revisit John Paul II's approach to work in post-modern society and reconnect the dignity of the working person to a pursuit of holiness. Only when it is truly Christian can humanism accomplish the lofty ideals it indicates.

The seminar series Holiness Through Work: Commemorating the Encyclical Laborem Exercens is in partnership with the John A. Ryan Institute for Catholic Social Thought and the Research Centre ROR: Relational Ontology Research.
