Southwell Institute

Our friend William Baer writes to remind us that it’s that time of year again: The St. Robert Southwell Institute is taking applications for this summer’s installment of its annual creative writing workshop. This year, it’s from June 1 to June 11 at the Carmel Retreat House in Mahwah, New Jersey.

Here’s an article about the institute . The purpose of the workshop—which is on playwriting, this year—is to encourage a small group of interested, post-baccalaureate Catholics (ages 21-30) to develop their talents in creative writing from a traditional Catholic point of view. Each accepted participant will receive a Southwell Scholarship covering all costs, including room and board, except for travel expenses to and from the Retreat House. The application deadline is April 1.

We’re glad you’re enjoying First Things
