a conversation with Fr. Aaron Kelly, PhL, JCL
7pm, Thursday, May 1 | Zoom with In-Person watch party and pizza @ ATH G-22

The upcoming conclave to elect the next pope has captured the public's attention and imagination. Millions of people have streamed the movie "Conclave" over the past week alone, and speculations about the future of the Catholic Church have been in the headlines.
The pope is the leader of 1.4 billion Catholics. But what actually happens in a conclave? Are there any facts mingled with the Hollywood's fictions and fantasies? On May 1, Fr. Aaron Kelly, PhL, JCL will take us inside the process of electing the new pope, what the movie got right, and what it got wrong. Join by Zoom, or come by the Catholic offices in Anabel Taylor for PIZZA and a watch party! All are welcome. Register for Zoom link here.
