EDISON, NEW JERSEY Saturday, November 17

I will be speaking at the Daughters of St Paul Bookstore in Edison, New Jersey on Saturday, November 17. I will be speaking about my favorite subject, the women saints, especially those who are patrons of churches in the area, such as St Helena and St Theresa of the Infant Jesus. If you are in the area I hope you can drop by.

SAVE THESE NOVEMBER DATES

November 15, 1:30 pm and 5:30 pm
New York City,
Daughters of St Paul Bookstore, 150 East 52nd Street
I am thrilled to be part of the Pauline Lecture Series. I will be speaking about some of the great saints of New York, from St Elizabeth Seton and St Frances Cabrini to new candidates such as Ven. Felix Varela and Ven. Pierre Toussaint. The Daughters of St Paul bookstore is huge with something for everyone. They schedule two lectures a day, so I will be speaking there at 1 pm and again at 5:30. The Big Book of Women Saints will be on sale and I'll be signing copies. It's not too soon to think about Christmas! Not to mention a gift for the hostess of your Thanksgiving dinner!

This Wednesday I take a Red & Black bus up to Sparkill, New York to speak at Thomas Aquinas College. I'll be talking to a mixed group of retired Dominican nuns and young students who have grown up knowing very little about the great saints. This means a lot to me, since I was educated for nine years by the Dominican Sisters of Amityville, and owe them a great debt. I'll report on my visit later this week.

I will be speaking to the Catholic Alumni of New York this Friday, October 5. The subject is Ven. Pierre Toussaint, one of the great figures in New York Catholic history, and a candidate for canonization. The more I've learned about this great man, the more I want to help promote his cause. I'll tell you more about him in a later post.
