DSPT Fellows are Catholic men and women of eminence in diverse fields who have joined DSPT to engage society in a fruitful dialogue about Faith and culture. As part of their initial projects, each of the Fellows will deliver a presentation on Catholic imagination in the light of their vocation and life's work in relationship to the contemporary culture. The Fellows convene each year around the Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas.

Since the first convocation of the College of Fellows, the following Fellows have given their presentations on the topic: Kevin Starr, Velma Richmond, Ned Dolejsi, André Delbecq, Ron Hansen and Gil Bailie.
