The Faculty of Theology is holding an opening session on 27 September at 11.30am in the Isidro Alves Auditorium at the Braga Regional Centre.

The session will include a round table entitled ‘Imagining theology’ and will be moderated by Cátia Tuna and Rui Pedro Vasconcelos, as well as the participation of Isabel Varanda, Joaquim Félix de Carvalho and Sérgio Leal.

All the Faculty's students, staff and teachers can watch the broadcast in the Exhibition Room (2nd Floor of the Library Building) on the Lisbon campus and in room EC018 (Corticeira Amorim Auditorium) on the Porto campus.

In the context of the Portuguese-speaking African countries (PALOP), there are still difficulties in accessing the specialised literature needed for theological formation.

In response to a request from the Archdiocese of Beira in Mozambique, the Faculty of Theology is launching a campaign to collect new and used books on philosophy, theology and related areas to help build up a robust bibliographic collection. This gesture of communion and solidarity will be sent to the Interdiocesan Seminary of Beira.

The collections will run until 12 March:

• Braga - Serviços de Escolares  (Campus Camões 4710-362 Braga)
• Porto – Mireille Arrifana (Rua de Diogo Botelho, 1327 4169-005 Porto)
• Lisboa – Ana Alva (Palma de Cima 1649-023 Lisboa)

The UCP Bookshop is hosting the launch of Armindo dos Santos Vaz's latest book, ‘Jesus, the Prayer and Master of Prayer’, on 10 April at 18:30. 

The presentation will be given by João Duarte Lourenço, Professor Emeritus of the Faculty of Theology and Teresa Messias, Professor of the Faculty of Theology.

Next 19 May the National Day of the Faculty of Theology will be celebrated in Lisbon.

The event aims to be an occasion of sharing and is intended for the entire academic community of the Faculty of Theology - students, teachers and employees.

The Faculty of Theology of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa is organising the 2024 Theology Conferences on the theme "Work in a globalised world: new configurations and new challenges", in collaboration with the Diocese of Porto and the Brotherhood of Clerics.

The conference will take place at the Porto Regional Centre from 5 to 8 February and will be coordinated by Abel Canavarro.

The topical nature of the theme and the complexity of the issues to be addressed by the speakers will provide an opportunity for questioning and enrichment for all those who are able to take part.
