Friendly reminder that we are co-hosting a public lecture with Greg Maillet to speak on his new book – a reflection on the character of Samwise Gamgee of The Lord of the Rings and what he may teach us about Christian discipleship.


Author and Professor Greg Maillet, Ph. D., will be joining us to speak about his recent book, Recovering Consolation. We invite you to come join us for his talk.

We will be holding a raffle and two copies of the book are set as the prize, sponsored by the Newman Association, so don’t miss it. Registration at the door!

This lecture is co-sponsored by Corpus Christi College and the Newman Association of Vancouver.
