An Invitation: Saints and Sleuths IV

Friends of the Center for Catholic Studies,

Please join us and bring a guest to Saints and Sleuths IV, a celebration of Catholic life, through dramatic readings, performances and commentaries. This year it includes readings from Edwin O'Connor's Pulitzer Prize winning novel, The Edge of Sadness, and G.K. Chesterton's Father Brown Series. In honor of the Year for Priests, the celebration includes three fictional priests and three real priests among the commentators: Fathers Ian Boyd, Joseph Reilly and Douglas Milewski. The series also features the poignant The Tidings Brought to Mary by Paul Claudel and the romance of The Cardinal's Snuff Box by Henry Harland.

These performances are in the Theatre-In-The-Round in the Bishop Dougherty University Center on Seton Hall University's South Orange Campus, and are free and open to the general public.
