MADISON — Catholic attorneys will be intrigued at their next meeting as they hear about the Global Common Good from Br. Edward van Merrienboer, OP.
With both national and international experience in working for the Common Good, Brother Edward has served in Rome as an adjunct faculty member of Aquinas Institute, as chair of the Department of Theology and Philosophy of Barry College, at a Newman center, and currently as director of faith formation at Blessed Sacrament Parish in Madison.
Brother Edward’s early experiences as an elementary school teacher, instilling the wonder of the universe to young people, has borne fruit as he continues to enthusiastically lead Bible studies, bringing Scripture into clearer focus through his knowledge and understanding of Church history. With a dry wit and an enviable breadth of experience, he will challenge attorneys to think more deeply on the meaning of justice.All Catholic attorneys and their guests are welcome to attend on Friday, Feb. 6. Morning prayer, beginning at 7:30 a.m., will be followed by a continental breakfast and the presentation at St. Patrick Church, 404 E. Main St., Madison, lower level.
