Graduate Students, Faculty, & Professional Groups

This launch page is intended for graduate students, professional school students, and UVA faculty to plug into Catholic groups and events on or near UVA grounds. There are a number of different Catholic clubs or institutes affiliated with UVA and with St. Thomas Aquinas University Parish that are run by faculty and graduate students. These are:

  • The St. Anselm Institute (Catholic faculty of UVA)
  • Catholic Healthcare Professionals
  • GradCats (any graduate or professional school student)
  • Darden Catholic Student Association (business students)
  • Luke Society (medical students)
  • Thomas More Society (law students)

To learn more, see full descriptions & contact information below.

In addition to these groups, any graduate student or faculty wishing to contact Fr. Nicholas, the vicar for UVA faculty and graduate students, can reach him at frnicholas@stauva.org.

Descriptions & Contact Information

The St. Anselm Institute offers programs promoting the Catholic intellectual tradition for UVA students—both undergraduate and graduate—faculty, and the broader community. From the St. Anselm website:

The St. Anselm Institute for Catholic Thought is a Catholic faculty-run group in its third decade of providing free educational programs to UVA students, faculty, alumni, and the local community.  We offer an annual public lecture series, non-credit minicourses and reading groups, lunch and dinner discussions, and occasional Catholic arts programs and local field trips. Sign up for our monthly event email by visiting us at www.stanselminstitute.org. Registration is sometimes requested because seats fill up, but it’s NEVER too late to begin to appreciate the great riches and holy men and women who have aided the Church in her thinking across the ages!

“The St. Anselm Institute offers inspiring and tuition-free educational programs that challenge and guide university-educated students, faculty and others to think more freely and deeply with the resources of the Catholic intellectual tradition. Their university-level programs of intellectual formation extend and complement the traditional pastoral, liturgical, sacramental and social elements of Catholic Campus Ministry.  As the Institute’s patron St. Anselm famously noted long ago, “faith seeking understanding” is the time-tested Catholic journey that awaits every thinking Catholic adult, whatever their age, professional career or status in life” (Most Reverend C. Barry Knestout, Bishop of Richmond).
