Keynote Address

The keynote address will be offered by Father Paul O’Brien, Pastor of Saint Patrick Parish in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Father O’Brien graduated from Harvard College in 1986. After graduation, he attended Saint John’s Seminary in Boston then studied five years in Rome at the Pontifical Gregorian University. In 2001, Father O’Brien was assigned to Saint Patrick Parish in Lawrence and since that time has led the effort to build a new, $2 million Cor Unum Meal Center, working to eliminate hunger by serving restaurant-quality breakfast and dinner every day, 365 days per year to anyone who is hungry. To support Cor Unum, Father O’Brien was part of a group that created Labels Are for Jars, a nonprofit organization selling shirts that offset stereotypical assumptions about people.

This event is offered free of charge, but registration is required on or before March 2, 2017 at 11:30 pm.
