St. Mary's University issued the following announcement on Feb. 26.
St. Mary’s University will host a lecture by Carolyn Woo, Ph.D., Distinguished President’s Fellow for Global Development at Purdue University, about the call of responsibility, healing and moving on, after the abuse crisis and other crises, for the future of the Catholic Church.
The lecture will be at 7 p.m., Wednesday, March 4, in the University Center, Conference Room A. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Before being named the Distinguished President’s Fellow for Global Development at Purdue University, Woo served as president and CEO of Catholic Relief Services, the official international humanitarian agency of the Catholic community in the United States, and as Dean of the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business.
Her lecture, titled “Heeding the Call,” will ask what are the needs of the church after facing the abuse and other crises? She will also discuss what the church – and Christ – call us to today.
