Our Flagship Lectures

Every year world-leading academics, practitioners, and ecclesiastical figures are invited to deliver our historical Von Hügel Lecture and give their perspective on our unique mission.

The Lattey Lecture is devoted to Catholic Social Teaching and Biblical Studies and is delivered by leading Scriptures scholars. It commemorates the founding the Catholic Biblical Association of Great Britain and its connection with St Edmund’s College.

The VHI exists to promote mutual enrichment between the best of the secular academy and the Catholic traditions of theology, philosophy and ethics through events, research, and contributions to the public square.

We host the annual Von Hügel and Lattey lectures, themed lecture series, conferences, as well as seminars, workshops, reading groups and other events.
