CMS RESEARCH SEMINARS
We are now taking a break over the summer months but will return with a new series of seminars on 21st October 2026.
Our next guest speaker will be Dr Jessica Hughes, who gave our very first online seminar in October 2023. At that point she was beginning a project on the Pontifical Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of the Holy Rosary of Pompeii, which was founded in the 1870s by a lawyer named Bartolo Longo, who was canonized by Pope Leo XIV in October 2025. Jessica has now completed her book, which is due to be published by Oxford University Press in August:
We are delighted that Jessica has agreed to return and to discuss the fruits of her research with us. If you would like to attend this event, please send a message to Catherine O’Brien at the following email address: info@marianstudies.ac.uk
