On September 24, join the Ignatian Solidarity Network, along with Jesuit institutions and Catholic parishes around the U.S. in watching a historic moment unfold. Pope Francis will address a joint session of the U.S. Congress. Invited by Speaker John Boehner, Pope Francis will speak to a Congress where more than 30 percent of members self-identify as Catholic. Nearly 15 percent attended a Catholic college or university. In addition, 55 of the members were educated at Jesuit universities or high schools.
Campus Ministry invites you to gather for a Pope Francis Watch Party. Join us for a fun morning of reflection and conversation. The Watch Party will begin with Pope Francis’ address at 10:00 a.m. in the Science Hall commons. Refreshments will be provided. The Pope’s address is estimated to be approximately 30 minutes.
Any questions, please contact Sarah Signorino at signoris@canisius.edu or Ext. 2424. We hope you can join us for this exciting event!
