Free lecture: "Truth, Truths, and Contemplation" will be presented by Rev. Kurt Pritzl, O.P., Ph.D., the Dean of the
School of Philosophy at The Catholic University of America. The talk will focus on our ability to know the truth through
an intellect fundamentally contemplative in nature. It will consider how contemplation approaches Truth (not the "truths"
of moral relativism) in a large and comprehensive sense through the consideration of particular truths and what is claimed
to be true. The talk will also reflect on the Dominican mission to contemplate and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, who
is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Please join us on Saturday, April 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at Mount de Sales Academy in
Catonsville, MD. The lecture will be followed by a reception with light fare.
