Alicia Young: The Mother Teresa Effect (Sun, Oct 23)

Alicia Young on
The Mother Teresa Effect:
What I Learned Volunteering for a Saint

this Sunday, 10/23 at 6:45pm (after Student Dinner)

Alicia Young, a Cal-Newman alumna, is an international broadcast journalist with more than twenty years' experience and author of seven nonfiction books. With her latest book, she has moved from the headspace of news to the heartspace of light spiritual books.

Volunteering for Mother Teresa during her final Christmas, Alecia divided her time between work in a hospice center and a rural leprosy ward. In The Mother Teresa Effect, Alicia narrates her transformative journey with humanity, color and gentle humor.


Alicia will be at Newman in the upstairs lounge after the Student Dinner this Sunday to discuss her experiences with Mother Teresa.

Year of Amoris Laetitia Family 2021-2022

On March 19, 2021, the Church celebrated the 5th anniversary of the publication of Pope Francis’s apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia, on the beauty and joy of love in the family.  On that same day, Pope Francis launched the year “Amoris Laetitia Family,” which concluded on June 26, 2022, during the X Meeting of Families in Rome with the Holy Father.

10-part video series going over the main teachings of Amoris Laetitia

Pope Francis announced the year of “Amoris Laetitia Family during his Angelus Message on the Feast of the Holy Family on December 27, 2020. He ended his address by invoking the Blessed Mother, “May the Virgin Mary grant that families throughout the world be increasingly fascinated by the evangelical ideal of the Holy Family, so as to become a leaven of [a] new humanity and of a genuine and universal solidarity.”

Our diocese is concluding this celebration of the Year of the Family with Catholic Family Week, September 24-Oct 2. We are to continue to live out the spirit of Amoris Laetitia. Click here for a list of events around the diocese.
