Ordo Praedicatorum

Thomistic Circles is a work of the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception at the Dominican House of Studies, in Washington, D.C. Serving as a forum for the exchange of theological and philosophical ideas, it seeks to consider contemporary cultural and intellectual issues from within the Thomistic tradition. As a work of the faculty, it involves collaboration from a variety of scholars from other institutions as well, and invites the participation of students at the PFIC, as well as outside guests who wish to register. It is a series of events meant to facilitate the development of the Thomistic Institute at the Dominican House of Studies.
