When Mr. Peter Kovac, Slovakian Salesian Past Pupil and secretary of the SDB Past Pupil World Council, came to know of this project, he organized an alliance with Mr. Phaisan to grow Di BOSCo into a world-wide network of Past Pupil fair trade coffee and cocoa growers, processors, exporters, and café owners in Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America.

TI JUNIOR FELLOWS PROGRAM THE THOMISTIC INSTITUTE is now accepting applications for the Thomistic Institute Junior Fellows Program, a year-long fellowship designed for recent graduates who are motivated to help bring university students (and others) to engage the Catholic intellectual tradition and the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas while going deeper into that tradition themselves. Being a Junior Fellow is a full-time engagement with the Thomistic Institute and requires residency in Washington, D.C.

Conferences are in the works for 2020-21 at both...
