St. Bruno Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

Over the course of life, we will probably experience God's call to share the gifts He gave us in many different ways. Saint Bruno certainly did! Before founding the Carthusian order, he had already lived a life of service through teaching many who would go on to lead within the Church, including a pope, who would later call him out of the monastery and back to Rome. Join Dr. Elizabeth Klein and Dr. Scott Hefelfinger as they introduce us to Saint Bruno.

Dr. Elizabeth Klein is an associate professor of theology at the Augustine Institute Graduate School of Theology. Learn more at Augustine.edu.
