Meditations on the Life of Igino GiordaniAn Evening with Dr. William Calvo-Quirós, American Studies, UMich.

Igino Giordani, known as “Foco,” was a distinguished Catholic intellectual, writer, and politician who dedicated his life to faith, scholarship, and service. A World War I veteran, he authored over 200 works on Church history and helped modernize the Vatican Library. After World War II, he served as a congressman and directed Fides, a major Catholic journal that shaped Italy’s postwar political landscape. Most notably, Giordani co-founded a global Catholic lay movement that influenced Vatican II’s vision for lay participation in the Church. In his later years, he championed ecumenism, interfaith dialogue, peace, and unity.

Forty-five years after his passing, we are invited to reflect on Giordani’s example and what it teaches us about living our Catholic faith in today’s world. Join Dr. William Calvo-Quirós, Associate Professor and scholar of Catholic Studies, for an evening of reflection on Giordani’s enduring legacy.All are welcome. Light refreshments provided.
