The Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City and the Emerald Hills Institute invite you to a special event:

Join us for an uplifting interfaith gathering as we explore Nostra Aetate — often called the “Magna Carta of Interreligious Dialogue.” Issued by the Second Vatican Council in 1965, this groundbreaking declaration reshaped how the Catholic Church relates to other faith communities. It opened new pathways of respect, understanding, and cooperation across traditions, setting the stage for dialogue and partnership that continue to flourish today.

Highlights of the event:
•Engaging reflections from Catholic, Muslim, Jewish and Christian leaders in a panel discussion
•Interactive dialogue on building bridges across traditions
•A celebration of unity, respect, and shared values

All are welcome — people of every background and belief. Come add your voice to this vital conversation.

Thursday, October 23 | 6:00 – 8:00 PM
