Rev. Daniel G. Groody, C.S.C.

Assistant Professor of Theology

Director of the Center for Latino Spirituality and Culture, Father Groody spent many years doing pastoral work and research in Latin America, particularly along the U.S.- Mexican Border. He teaches, writes and lectures on U.S. Latino spirituality, globalization and the relationship of Christian spirituality to social justice. In addition to his books and articles on these themes, he is the producer of documentary films including “One Border, One Body: Immigration and the Eucharist,” and “Dying to Live: A Migrant’s Journey.” Father Groody’s priesthood and scholarship easily intermingle. “When we look at the experience of migrants today,” he said recently, “we see that they are hungry in their homeland, thirsty when they cross the desert, naked after having been robbed even of their clothing, imprisoned in detention centers, sick in hospitals, and then, if they make it across, treated as strangers. I think one of the most powerful ways we can be Catholic is to be hospitable to those who are most vulnerable.”
