Timothy P. O'Malley is a Catholic theologian, author, and professor. He serves in the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame as the associate director for research and academic director of the Notre Dame Center for Liturgy. He regularly teaches courses on marriage and family, sacraments, and catechesis. O'Malley earned his bachelor's degree in theology and philosophy and his master's degree in theology with a concentration in liturgical studies from the University of Notre Dame. He earned a doctorate in theology and education from Boston College, where he wrote on liturgical formation in Augustine of Hippo. O'Malley is the author of ten books including three award-winning books published by Ave Maria Press: Off the Hook: God, Love, Dating, and Marriage in a Hookup World; Real Presence: What Does It Mean and Why Does It Matter?; and Becoming Eucharistic People: The Hope and Promise of Parish Life. He has written for scholarly journals, the McGrath Institute for Church Life's own Church Life Journal, and popular magazines throughout the United States. O'Malley is the lead investigator on two grants from the Lilly Foundation: one related to preaching and the other on children and worship. These grants pertain to his interest in cultivating a contemplative and sacramental imagination in an age dominated by technology, spectacle, and polarization. He lives with his family in the South Bend, Indiana, area. The McGrath Institute for Church Life was founded as the Center for Pastoral and Social Ministry by the late Notre Dame president Fr. Theodore Hesburgh, CSC, in 1976. The McGrath Institute partners with Catholic dioceses, parishes, and schools to provide theological education and formation to address pressing pastoral problems. The Institute connects the Catholic intellectual tradition to the pastoral life of the Church in forming faithful Catholic leaders for service to the Church and the world. The McGrath Institute strives to be the preeminent source of creative Catholic content and programming for the new evangelization in the United States.
