STUDY SERIES CONTINUES WITH
MARY CATHERINE HILKERT, OP IN MAY
Join us for the final speaker in our 125th Anniversary Year Study Series as Mary Catherine Hilkert, OP, speaks on "The School Friendship: Human Desires and God's Holy 'Trick'" on Saturday, May 3.
Catherine of Siena was convinced that our desire for God is rooted in God's desire for union with us. This presentation will focus on how our longing for God is mediated through our human desires-especially the desire for love and friendship-and how the process of conversion can be viewed as a transformation of desire.
Hilkert is a member of the Dominican Sisters of Akron, Ohio and is Professor of Theology at the University of Notre Dame. She is the author of Naming Grace: Preaching and the Sacramental Imagination and Speaking with Authority: Catherine of Siena and the Voices of Women Today. She has published numerous articles on contemporary theology, spirituality and preaching. She is a past president of the Catholic Theological Society of America and is presently a member of the Dominican Order's International Commission on Preaching.
