Fall Lecture Series - Exploring the New Evangelization

Today at 12:45pm, following the 12:10pm Mass, Ms. Susan Timoney speaks to us on "Forming the Laity for the New Evangelization." The lecture is given in the North Conference Room.

In his August 2010 pastoral letter, Disciples of the Lord: Sharing the Vision, Cardinal Donald Wuerl invites Catholics to renew and reinvigorate their own faith and then to invite others whose faith has grown stale to reconnect and rediscover Christ. Pope Benedict XVI calls this invitation a “reproposing” of our faith and the “New Evangelization.” Join us for this year’s Fall Lecture Series, when we will focus on Exploring the New Evangelization. Below is the schedule of our five-part series of one-hour lectures, which will be held in the North Conference Room.
