Loyola University Chicago cordially invites you to a major conference

“Chicago Italians and Catholicism” 

Sponsored by the Joan and Bill Hank Center for the Catholic Intellectual Heritage.  

November 8 and 9, 2013    Lakeshore Campus  www.LUC.edu for directions. There is no charge to attend the conference.  Light lunches both days, and  a reception on  Friday will give attendees an opportunity to network.  The 2 day event will close with a 5pm Mass on Saturday afternoon which fulfills your weekend obligation. 
The conference is multi-faceted and will include art work, banners, statues, and exhibits that help tell the story of YOUR Italian Catholic parish or patron saint society. Please consider bringing your objects for display at the Conference.  We are also looking for “first person narrators” to tell about their personal experience in Chicago Italian Catholic Churches and patron saint societies, and the multi-ethnic Chicago Catholic community.  Call 847-951-9109 for more information about how you or your group actively participate in this momentous event.

Make plans to attend and lend your support to this ambitious effort to document, share, and preserve the religious aspect of the Chicago Italian experience. Dominic.Candeloro@gmail.com.
