St. Théodore Guérin (1798-1851)
Bring a friend and come to meet someone new as everyone is invited to join us for friendly conversation, a free lunch, and an introduction to the educational pioneer St. Theodore Guerin, a holy example of perseverance, ingenuity and missionary zeal despite family tragedies, personal health difficulties, and the resentful political, social and even ecclesiastical forces of her times.
Help us with the lunch order by registering today. We'll meet In UVA Bryan Hall-Room 235 on Friday, April 14 at 12:30pm for lunch, with discussion of Guerin's life and works beginning @ 1:00pm.

European contact with the “New World” after 1492 is often portrayed as led exclusively by misguided, self-interested, and tragically violent conquistadors. This discussion series offers interested students a first exposure to a different and forgotten set of human actors: the saintly women of the Americas whose inspiring witness, deep devotion, loving service, and peaceful genius helped carry the good news of Christ throughout North, Central, and South America.
