McFarland Center for Religion, Ethics and Culture

The Center has a new name! On October 15, the College of the Holy Cross announced that the Center for Religion, Ethics and Culture would be named in honor of College president Rev. Michael C. McFarland, S.J., who is stepping down at the end of the year after 12 years of leadership. Read the announcement.

The Rev. Michael C. McFarland, S.J. Center for Religion, Ethics and Culture sponsors and supports programming that explores basic human questions of meaning, morality, and mutual obligation. Following the principle that faith and learning are partners in liberal education, the McFarland Center's programs foster dialogue that respects differences and provide a forum for intellectual exchange that is interreligious as well as interdisciplinary, intercultural, and international in scope.

Most events are free and open to the public.
