Join us as we welcome Keynote Speaker Dr. Andrew Abela! on Thursday, March 27th! The event, titled “The Virtues as Superhabits,” will take place on Thursday, March 27th at Willows Academy.
About the Event
Virtues are a set of “superhabits” that underlie all human thriving. Virtues are not values, they are not principles, and they are not exclusively about morality. Anyone can acquire them with steady practice and the help of grace. In this Willows Academy keynote, Dr. Andrew Abela will discuss St. Thomas Aquinas’ system of virtues and how parents can foster the superhabits that lead to lasting joy and improved physical, mental, and emotional health in their families. No matter what problem you are facing in life, “there’s a virtue for that!”
