Catholic Social Teachings and the Signs of Times
Sr. Lisa Megaffin, SND

The phrase “these are unprecedented times” has become very trite in recent months.  Nevertheless, these unprecedented times also provide an invitation to study the Catholic Social Teachings. This presentation examines the traditional Catholic Social Teachings, their Scriptural roots, and personal applications. Although many of these topics can lead to partisan disagreements, this talk will focus on personal application rather than political platforms.

Sr. Lisa has ministered primarily as a secondary educator including La Reina High School and is currently Director of Mission Advancement for the Sisters of Notre Dame. Within the civic community, Sr. Lisa has served on various non-profit boards, including Many Mansions, a non-profit organization that provides affordable housing with life-enriching services.
