In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Our Lady’s appearance at Fatima, Thomas More College of Liberal Arts will host a lecture given by Fr Rob Johansen, entitled “Newman, Mary, and the Liturgy: The Reality of Communion.” It will be held on Friday, October 13, 7:00 pm, at Mercy Hall (Anderson House), 90 Concord Street Nashua, New Hampshire. The lecture is free of charge and open to the public; a wine and cheese reception will follow. For more information call Thomas More College at (603) 880-8308 or e-mail Andrew Thompson-Briggs at athompsonbriggs@thomasmorecollege.edu.
Fr Robert Johansen is a priest of the diocese of Kalamazoo, Michigan, where he serves as Diocesan Theological Consultant and Chaplain. He holds a Licentiate in Sacred Theology from the Liturgical Institute of the University of St Mary of the Lake in Mundelein, Illinois, where he is currently a candidate for the Doctor of Sacred Theology. He is the author of numerous articles on theology and liturgy, and a frequent speaker and presenter at conferences and workshops on liturgy, chant, and the Sacraments.
On a personal note, several years ago, when I was teaching at Thomas More College, I invited him to give a lecture on the evangelization of the culture to the students in my Way of Beauty program, and it was through this that I understood for the first time the Catholic understanding of the connection between the liturgy and the culture. I would recommend all who can get there to do so.
