Catholic Calendar

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, May 7th at Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish Hall in Grand Rapids. Dr. Jared Ortiz Assistant Professor of Religion at Hope College will present the next Authenticum lecture which is titled “Raised to new Life: Grace & Divinization”
Dr. Jared Ortiz hails from Hopewell Junction, New York where he was a wayward and impious youth. He entered the University of Chicago as a bright, but confused agnostic, open to the truth, but without and clear idea of what the truth might be. Through the reading of Great Books, he slowly returned to his childhood faith. After college, he spent two years living in community in voluntary poverty while teaching in an inner-city Chicago Catholic School. He left Chicago to pursue a Master’s degree in Liberal Arts from the St. John’s College Graduate Institute. He went on to study Patristics at the Catholic University of America where he received an MA and a PhD. He wrote his dissertation on creation, deification, and liturgy in St. Augustine’s Confessions.
This is a lecture you won't want to miss out on. There will be copies of all past Authenticum lectures available as well, or you can access them online from www.catfoundations.com New tab . All adults of every age are invited.
