2 – Presentations for the Sacrament of Baptism for Parents and Godparents,

FOR YOUNG ADULTS
During this upcoming year, campus ministry has a lot of events planned and we would love to invite the young adults in your parish to attend and participate in our events. Cabrini University’s Campus Ministry Department is excited to announce our speaker lineup for the Catholic Lecture Series during the Fall Semester. The department will welcome three experts in their respected fields to share their gifts and talents with the community. Each speaker will use Campus Ministry’s theme, Shoulder to Shoulder, as their foundation for their conversations with our community.
All lectures will be held in our chapel: https://www.cabrini.edu/about/visit/directions,
Information about our speakers can be found at: https://www.cabrini.edu/about/departments/campus-ministry/events2/catholic-lecture-series
The Catholic Lecture Series is made possible by a grant from the Ambassador’s Fund for Catholic Education, the successor name to the Archdiocesan Educational Fund. This charitable organization was created and funded by Matthew H. McCloskey, Jr. (1893-1973), building contractor and U.S. Ambassador to Ireland (1962-64), in 1967 to advance Catholic education and evangelization throughout the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The name of the Fund changed in February 2020.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the Director of Campus Ministry, Mr. Guilherme Lopes, gl10170@cabrini.edu.
