In this first event of the "Catolicismo, Cultura y Comida" series* organized by CWCIT and Catholic Campus Ministry, join Claudia Herrera-Montero, PhD, for a conversation about Abuelita theology as a reimagined communal Latina/x theology of lo cotidiano, or “the everyday.” She invites us to reflect on grassroots and communal wisdom, the particularities of our lived experiences, and la fe y esperanza cotidiana (daily expressions of faith, hope, and resilience) as sources of theological reflection, dialogue, and action.

*Limited seating; light dinner will be served, including pan dulce y cafe.
