Events: Dr. Kwasniewski’s Upcoming Lectures in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio

After a long corona-themed hiatus, I will be resuming my public lectures with a trip to southern New Jersey, across Pennsylvania, and ending at the Franciscan University of Steubenville (my third visit to a most accommodating community, thanks to the local Juventutem and Una Voce chapters!) I will be giving a different talk at each location. (How delightful, by the way, that 3 out of 5 locations will feature sung Masses before the lectures! I can remember a time when a Missa Cantata was a relatively rare thing... how times have changed.)

Nota bene: I am aware that, due to various restrictions, not every location will be able to accommodate visitors beyond a certain number. As a result, we are working to ensure that the talks will be made available afterwards in video form; some, at least, will be published as well.
