Fr. Patrick Kelly, S.J., author, alumnus and professor at Detroit Mercy, is the featured speaker at a Jesuit Friends and Alumni Network (JFAN) of Detroit luncheon, set for Thursday, March 7 at noon.
Doors open at 11:30 a.m. inside of the Student Union Ballroom on UDM’s McNichols Campus. Connect with friends in the Detroit Jesuit family and enjoy a great lunch at the University!
Kelly, who has lectured globally on the human, cultural and spiritual significance of sport, will show how sports can be enjoyable and done for their own sake and also lead to our growth as whole persons. His presentation is titled, “Sport, Human Flourishing and the Common Good: Opportunities and Challenges Today.”
His influence in this area extends from the halls of the Vatican to ace Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal, who credits his “Sports and Spirituality” class as a formative influence.
An individual ticket is $50 or a table of 10 can be reserved for $500.
