About Cullen Larson
The War and Peace Session will be facilitated by Cullen Larson, retired director from Catholic Relief Services (CRS), the official international humanitarian agency of the US Catholic community. Cullen and his wife Lola Larson joined St. Andrew parish earlier in 2021. Cullen’s CRS work frequently focused on how Catholic social teaching principles inform the work of CRS. He has often presented on CST in parish, diocesan, university, and other Catholic settings. He earned an undergraduate degree in theology and philosophy (Loyola University, New Orleans), and a master of pastoral studies degree (Spring Hill College, Mobile), and holds a master of public administration (University of Georgia), and a law degree (Emory University). His favorite quote from the Catholic Catechism is: “The Eucharist commits us to the poor.”(CCC #1397)
