Join Collegium Institute and the Penn Newman Center for our annual Newman Lecture. This year’s lecture, entitled, “Cardinal Newman and Leo XIII on Americanism” will be given by Prof. Michael P. Moreland, University Professor of Law and Religion and Director of the Eleanor H. McCullen Center for Law, Religion and Public Policy at Villanova University.

The Annual Newman Lecture is part of a broader effort by Collegium to rejuvenate the intellectual legacy of John Henry Newman at the University of Pennsylvania, which was the home of the first Newman Club in America. Recent Newman Lectures have been delivered by Thomas Hibbs, David O’Connor, Helena Tomko, Dermott Moran, Eamon Duffy, Thomas Pfau, Paige Hochschild, David Deavel, Ryan "Bud" Marr, John Garvey, and the late Don Briel.

Prof. Moreland’s remarks on Cardinal Newman’s reaction to Americanism will be followed by a brief Q&A and a light reception featuring a birthday cake specially designed by the famous Bakery House in Bryn Mawr to mark St. John Henry Newman's 225th birthday.

Date: Friday, February 20, 7:00 pm

Location: Penn Newman Center (111 S. 38th St, University City Philadelphia)
