The program will include a presentation by Theresa Byrne, OP, on contemporary spirituality. Edgewood College Professor Tom Brandner and Associate Tim Andrews will speak on our relationship with the natural world. Sister Jo Ann Timmerman, OP, will speak about the Associate role in promoting Dominican values in contemporary society.
