Speaker at OLMC Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish is sponsoring a talk on October 13 by Sr. Mary Diana Dreger, O.P., M.D. titled Conscience: Professional, Political and Personal from 7-8:30 PM in the St. Thomas Aquinas Room of OLMC. In this election year, we thought this would be a great talk for all of us struggling with what it means to be a conscientious Catholic voter. Her dual vocations as physician and nun give her a wonderful perspective that can hopefully help us understand how to form our consciences ... professionally, personally and politically. We'd like as many people as possible to hear her, including those high school students of voting age.
