Why Catholic Education? With Donna Illerbrun

Ecumenical prayer service of meditation and song.

Lecture by world-renowned authority on St. Joseph, Fr. Joseph Chorpenning, O.S.F.S. This illustrated lecture will focus on a transformative episode in Norbertine history. Attention focus on St. Joseph’s relevance for foundations made from St. Norbert’s in the American Southwest and California. This presentation will conclude by considering Pope Francis’s contemporary reframing of Joseph of Nazareth as the saint whom heaven trusted: a creatively courageous father, a man of robust interiority, and an embodiment of the tenderness of God.
