STEUBENVILLE -- Franciscan University of Steubenville will host an international Marian symposium, Mother of All Peoples: The Role of Mary in the Redemption by Christ, Sept. 14-15. This free academic symposium is co-sponsored by Franciscan University and the International Marian Association. The symposium is focused on head and heart on outstanding Mariological scholarship and on fostering true and lasting devotion to the Mother of Jesus, said Mark Miravalle, symposium organizer, professor of Mariology at Franciscan University, and president of the International Marian Association. "Thus, the inquiring layperson who seeks to better understand the riches of the church's teachings on our common Mother and her maternal roles with and under Jesus on behalf of the church and of the world will benefit as much as the scholar," he added.
Symposium presenters include, Bishop Oliver Dashe Doeme of Maiduguri, Nigeria; Bishop William John Waltersheid of Pittsburgh; Robert Fastiggi, professor of systematic theology, Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Detroit; Monsignor Arthur B. Calkins, Vatican Commission ecclesia dei emeritus; the Rev. Dwight Longenecker, international speaker and acclaimed author; John-Mark Miravalle, professor of Mariology, Mount St. Mary's Seminary, Emmitsburg, Md.; Mike Scherschligt '95, founder, Holy Family School of Faith, Kansas City, Kan.; and the Rev. Daniel M. Klimek, TOR, professor of Mariology, Franciscan University. Admission is free and open to the public.
