In the 500 years since Catholicism arrived on the shores of North America, the Church has canonized 13 people whose primary field of work was in what is today the United States of America. A quick study of the lives of these 13 Saints provides a rich look into the complex history of American Catholicism. Using their own words and contemporary testimonies about their lives, Fr. Bart Hutcherson, OP will paint a picture of the American Church and the great works of these men and women who shaped that Church. 3rd Floor Common Room, Old Union, Wednesday October 16, 2024, 7:00-8:30 PM. Refreshments will be served.
