“My Life in Holy Cross,” March 3

March 2, 2015

Not long ago, Pope Francis declared 2015 to be The Year of Consecrated Life. To honor that declaration, the local Holy Cross community will partner with the Garaventa Center to offer “My Life in Holy Cross” on Tuesday, March 3, at 7:15 p.m., in the Bauccio Commons board room. Rev. Charlie McCoy, C.S.C., will facilitate a conversation among Frs. Claude Pomerleau, Mark DeMott, and Pat Hannon, who will offer compelling vignettes of their priestly vocations and lives in Holy Cross ministry. Following the panel, the priests will take questions from the audience. This is a great way for the UP community to get to know some of the human stories and faces of the religious community with whom we labor. The event is free and open to the public; light refreshments will be served.

For more information contact Karen Eifler, Garaventa Center, at 8014 or eifler@up.edu.
