Reading the Signs of the Times with Catherine McAuley and Katherine Drexel

Boreta Singleton will speak on Reading the Signs of the Times with Two Women of Faith: Catherine McAuley and Katharine Drexel. In her talk, Boreta will speak on the lives and legacies of two religious leaders in the Roman Catholic Church who, rooted in their relationship with God, pursued social justice and mercy.
