The Newman Student Association at UMass writes: "As part of our yearlong celebration of the Newman Center’s 50th anniversary, we will be holding a lecture series featuring a number of different speakers. Our first lecture in the Lumen Christi Lecture Series will be Evangelical Catholicism: The Church at the Dawn of a New Era, presented by papal biographer and author George Weigel. Weigel’s lecture will be in the chapel on October 22, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. Bishop Timothy McDonnell will be in attendance to inaugurate our 50th Anniversary Celebration. We hope you’ll attend! A free will offering will be taken at the lecture."
