Our friends at the Nassau Community College Center for Catholic Studies recently sent us this press release:
On Saturday, October 5, 2013, in the Multipurpose Room of the College Center Building at Nassau Community College Bishop William Murphy of the Diocese of Rockville Centre will offer a lecture, “The Diversity of Sanctity and the Unity of Holiness: Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II.” The talk deals with the achievements of these two Popes leading to their eventual canonization as saints in the Catholic religious tradition.The event formally starts at 2:15 p.m. with an audience welcome and a biographical introduction of Bishop Murphy. Bishop Murphy speaks from 2:30 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. followed by an audience question and answer session ending at 3:45 p.m. (Note that light refreshments will be provided and available at 1:30 p.m. before the official start of the event.)
All are invited, free of any charge but registration and parking permit are required. All attendees must register with the Nassau Community College Office of Lifelong Learning. The registration process starts by contacting the Office of Lifelong Learning by calling 516-572-7472 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. After registering, a registration receipt, a campus map, and a one-day parking pass will be mailed to you by Lifelong Learning at the address you indicate.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
