Kennedy Lecture

St. Peter Kennedy Lecture Committee is proud to announce Colleen Dulle has accepted the role of Keynote Speaker for St. Peter’s 27th Annual Kennedy Lecture, January 30, 2027
Colleen Dulle, Vatican Correspondent for America Media, is the host and co-creator of the podcast, Inside the Vatican, served as an ABC Correspondent for the Conclave in May, 2025 and was a three-time winner of the Catholic Press Association Media Journalist of the Year. She is author of Struck Down, Not Destroyed: Keeping the Faith as a Vatican Reporter with foreword by James Martin SJ.

Colleen earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Mass Communication — Journalism, Languages and Cultures at Loyola University New Orleans, and was named a Joseph A. O’Hare, S.J. Post graduate Media Fellow. Her writing, like that of America is shaped by a defining Jesuit charism. “We’re inspired by the Ignatian tradition of ‘finding God in all things,’ which at times means we are looking for signs of God’s work in areas others might avoid. We try to get to the heart of the issues we cover, with a special concern for the poor and those on the margins of both the church and society.”
