Hesburgh Lecture by Fr. Michael Driscoll
St. Thomas Aquinas
Dec. 14 at 7 p.m.
St. Thomas Aquinas will host a Hesburgh Lecture by Fr. Michael Driscoll on Thursday, Dec. 14, at 7 p.m. This series, co-sponsored by the Indy Notre Dame Club, honors Fr. Ted Hesburgh, the late iconic former president of the university. As a champion of civil rights, scholarship and Catholic education, it is fitting that Fr. Driscoll will speak on a topic that Fr. Ted embraced.
Entitled “The Eucharist and Social Justice,” Fr. Driscoll will bring in themes of concern for refugees and immigrants and our Catholic response to the world around us as a Eucharistic community. Fr. Driscoll is an Emeritus Professor of Notre Dame, well known as a popular national speaker and theologian.
All are invited to STA for a stimulating evening with refreshments and discussion to follow.
