Guest speaker Tim O’Malley, professor of theology at Notre Dame, gave a talk on the wounds of modern-day hookup culture. His lecture offered insight into how God’s plan for love serves as the antidote, teaching about the reality of love in a way that challenges us to recommit, renew, and reconceive our relationships with loved ones and with God.

This event was cosponsored by the Carver Project and the Washington University Catholic Student Center.
