Picture

The Boston College community is pleased to welcome James Martin, SJ to campus to deliver the inaugural Daniel J. Harrington SJ lecture. The First Annual Harrington lecture is named for Father Harrington, who taught classes on the New Testament at Boston College and Weston Jesuit School of Theology.  Father Martin published a kind remembrance of Father Harrington upon his passing in 2014. 

Father Martin, himself a graduate of Boston College’s School of Theology and Ministry, and editor at large for America magazine, “will reflect on his theological education and formation, how it has impacted his ministry, and what he sees as the most pressing needs for ministry in the world today.” Using the tools of social media and periodicals, Martin has been an effective communicator of his views on Catholicism and contemporary society, enjoying a wide following. Tickets for the lecture were given away quickly, but it will be available via livestream through the Boston College Facebook page

TWIN-CS members may recall the informative and interesting video on Lent that Father Martin SJ shared on YouTube, which was used in a Network webinar. The Harrington Lecture is sure to be just as engaging.
