Episcopal Visitor Program
The C21 Center Episcopal Visitor Program invites members of the Catholic hierarchy to visit campus to engage in conversation about current issues in the Church. Each semester, the C21 Center hosts a bishop on campus to experience daily life at a Jesuit, Catholic university. This is also an opportunity to learn from the bishop how Boston College can meet the current and future needs of the Catholic Church.
