St. Albert’s Day Lecture 2009
Posted by Fr. Aquinas on 16 Nov 2009 | Tagged as: Lectures, Parish Events
On November 12, Professor Helen Alvaré delivered the parish’s annual St. Albert’s Day Lecture. Before an eager and enthusiastic audience, she addressed the topic, “The Catholic Voice in the Public Square: Sectarian or Civic?” Over the course of her remarks, Professor Alvaré shared the wisdom she has gained as a Catholic lawyer and lobbyist regarding how believers ought to engage public debate on difficult moral questions. She focused specifically on the debates surrounding abortion, health care, and marriage, and the recommendations she gave for approaching each were both insightful and encouraging.
Below you’ll find both audio and video of Professor Alvaré’s lecture, as well as audio of the Q & A session that followed her presentation.
