The thought of Saint Alberto Hurtado, Jesuit priest and lawyer canonized in 2005, has been quite influential in Latin America, is regrettably little known in the English-speaking world. The book "Social Morality" a posthumous book by Saint Alberto Hurtado, S.J., translated and edited by Professor Scott FitzGibbon and Fernanda Soza, will be presented in the event. This will the first time a work written by Hurtado is published in the U.S. This edition includes introductory comments and more than 600 footnotes. 

 This conference is part of a project that aims to make Saint Alberto Hurtado's ideas accessible to English speakers. More than 20 people from 6 different countries will deliver papers about Hurtado's work and Catholic Social Thought.
