St. Charles Borromeo Seminary will host its annual John Cardinal Foley Lecture on Monday, Jan. 26 at 7 p.m. in the Julia Ball Auditorium at Gwynedd Mercy University, Lower Gwynedd.

This year’s talk, “Mercy and Mission: Continuity and New Accents from Pope Francis to Pope Leo XIV,” will be delivered by Dominican Father Patrick Mary Briscoe, a popular podcast host and noted preacher at the National Eucharistic Revival.

He is the first-ever General Promoter of Social Communication for the worldwide Order of Preachers in which he supports the order’s communication efforts, fostering collaboration and helping shape a global strategy for preaching through media.

His media savvy, engaging style, and religious charisma all contribute to his online popularity and to his apostolic work.

The event is free and open to the public. Details are available at https://www.scs.edu/cardinal-foley-lecture.
