Cabrini University Catholic Lecture Series

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. 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.
All lectures will be held in our chapel (https://www.cabrini.edu/about/visit/directions) A link to the live-stream will be forthcoming.
