"Fatherhood and Forgiveness: For the Good of Society"

St. Thomas Aquinas Prayer & Study Day
Saturday, Nov. 23, 2013 (10am-3pm) 

The Second Vatican Council teaches us that the development of Tradition, guided by the Holy Spirit, takes place through the "contemplation and study made by believers" (Dei Verbum). Such "contemplation and study" is characteristic of Dominican spirituality, which the University Parish of St. Thomas Aquinas seeks to prosper through its new Prayer and Study Days. The day consists of the following: Spiritual Conference (10:30 AM), Mass (12:30 PM), Luncheon (1:30 PM), Keynote Lecture (3 PM).


On Saturday, November 23, this St. Thomas Aquinas Parish Prayer and Study Day will honor the exemplary life of St. Martin de Porres by focusing on the topic: "Fatherhood and Forgiveness: For the Good of Society."

Fr. Andrew Hofer, OP will deliver the spiritual conference. He is Master of Students of the Dominicans of the Eastern Province and Assistant Professor of Patristics and Ancient Languages at the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception (Washington, DC). He is the author of Christ in the Life and Teaching of Gregory of Nazianzus (Oxford University Press, 2013).  

Dr. Paul C. Vitz will deliver the keynote lecture. He is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at New York University and Senionr Scholar/Professor of Psychology at the Institute for Psychological Sciences (Arlington, VA).  His many publications include Faith of the Fatherless: The Psychology of Atheism (Ignatius, 1999, 2013), Freud’s Christian Unconscious (1993), and Psychology as Religion: The cult of self worship (2nd ed. 1994).
