In keeping with ICTC's theme of "A Journey Towards Healing and Reconciliation," and in connection with Black History Month, we are excited to welcome Fr. Bryan Massingale, professor at Fordham University, to Seattle for the Catholic Heritage Lecture on February 9. We appreciate your RSVP if you plan to attend!
Our theme weaves through the rest of the quarter's programs as well, with our Interreligious Dialogue Initiative speaker Dr. Richard Atleo, a Nuu-chah-nulth elder, on March 1, and the film screening of "Wonderfully Made LGBTQ+R(eligion)" on March 2. And in case you missed it - Cardinal McElroy, who visited SU last year (then a Bishop) wrote an inspiring article on the Church's need for radical inclusion. All this and more, below - we hope you can join us!
