By identifying what “common good” means, we can understand how the Sacrament of the Eucharist is a common good, and what that means for the life of the Church and our happiness.
Dr. John Froula, who joined The Saint Paul Seminary faculty in 2014, discussed this topic in the most recent Archbishop Ireland Memorial Library Lecture. With areas of teaching and research including Christology, Eucharistic theology, St. Thomas Aquinas, and grace and the spiritual life, Froula serves as an associate professor of dogmatic theology and oversees the seminary’s Master of Arts in Pastoral Leadership lay graduate degree program.
Froula holds a Ph.D. in systematic theology with a minor in moral theology from Ave Maria University, a Bachelor’s of sacred theology from the Pontifical University of St. Teresa in Rome, and a Bachelor’s of Arts in liberal arts from Thomas Aquinas College.
