A special reading of poetry by Rev. Thomas Fitzpatrick, S.J., titled “The Dream of God: Words of Hope in the Chaos,” will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 19 at 5 p.m. in the DiMenna-Nyselius Library Auditorium, Room 101. Register to attend the in-person event or sign up for the Zoom Livestream to attend virtually.
Fr. Fitzpatrick came to Fairfield University nine years ago, after living and working for 20 years in the Middle East. He is well-known on campus for his transformative work in leading people through the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. His personal writing, which looks back on a lifetime of lived spirituality on five continents across the world, is equally transformative.
This event, free and open to the public, is co-sponsored by the Office of the President, the Office of the Provost, the Office of the Dean—College of Arts & Sciences, the Fairfield Jesuit Community, the Murphy Center for Ignatian Spirituality, the Office of Alumni Relations, and the DiMenna-Nyselius Library. A wine and cheese reception will follow the presentation.
