I want to announce and encourage you to mark you calendar now for Notre Dame's Parish Lenten Mission. After so many centuries of wisdom and great Saints who came from the Dominican Order, Notre Dame has asked the Order to send us a priest who would come to share the Wisdom and Love of God for us.
Fr. Chris Saliga currently serves
as assistant novice master for the Dominican Province of St. Joseph. He has previously served in campus ministry
at Aquinas House at Dartmouth College and as university chaplain at Walsh
University; he has served as postulant director and assistant novice master for
the Dominican Vicariate of Eastern African; and he has served as health care
chaplain and ethicist with the Dominican Friars Health Care Ministry of New
York, Saint Catherine of Siena Priory.
He has taught
philosophical bioethics at Walsh University; he has taught courses on human freedom
and human happiness for the Waterman Institute at Dartmouth College; he has
facilitated ethical reflections grounded in natural law for interested Medical
Students at Dartmouth College; he has taught various clinical rotations for
Franciscan University of Steubenville Department of Nursing; he has served on
the Hospital for Special Surgery Ethics Committee; and he has served on the
Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at the University of Akron.
He has
presented on a variety of topics in health care ethics and spirituality at
various hospitals, universities, and churches; he has written on select
topics in health care ethics and spirituality; and he has led numerous retreats,
days of recollection, and missions in schools, religious communities, and
parishes.
Father Chris
is a military veteran having served as a United States Army combat medic and a paratrooper,
and later as a United States Navy nurse corps officer with both active Naval
and reserve Marine Corps branches.
Fr. Chris comes very highly recommended, and I pray that you will join the Parish in looking forward to hearing his message of God love in a Mission that will be focused on the theme:
The Cross: Our Lenten Journey to Eternal Life. This will take place from Saturday March 22nd until Wednesday March 26th. Fr. Saliga will preach all Sunday Masses (including the Sat. evening mass), he will preach each morning at the morning masses, and then offer a reflection each night beginning on Sunday Mar. 23rd until Wednesday Mar. 26th at 7pm. Come and consider the love and mercy of God for each of our human souls and bodies!
