Seamless Garment Speaker Series
Fall Semester Speakers in the Welcome Center during Community Period
Join us for our “Seamless Garment” speaker series, sponsored by the Office of Service & Justice. The late Cardinal Joseph Bernardin coined the Seamless Garment as an expression (drawn from John 19:23) as a way of illustrating the coherence of Catholic teachings on the sanctity of human life, and meant to underscore a “consistent ethic of life.”
Please mark your calendars as we welcome the following speakers on campus:
