LECTURE SERIES ON EUCHARIST CONTINUES WITH ST. BONAVENTURE PRESIDENT Sister Margaret Carney, O.S.F., S.T.D., president of St. Bonaventure University, will be at Gannon for a Sept. 20 guest lecture. The lecture, part II of Gannon’s 2005 Lecture Series on the Eucharist, will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Yehl Room of the Waldron Campus Center, 124 West Seventh Street. It is free and open to the public. During her lecture, “Jesus Christ and the Fast Food Nation,” Carney will examine the Eucharist in light of research on the meaning of food and table fellowship in the New Testament. She also will discuss the meaning of food and our current styles of food consumption, and the way in which this opens and closes paths to understanding for us. In addition, Carney will explore the current shortage of ordained priests and the potential impact in the future. Father Scott Detisch, Ph.D., a faculty member at Christ the King Seminary in East Aurora, N.Y., on Oct. 4 will give the final lecture in the series. For more information on the lecture series, call ext. 5873.
More about Sister Margaret Carney Carney brings a powerful history of scholarship and leadership to her position as the 20th president St. Bonaventure, located in St. Bonaventure, N.Y. In January 2005, she was a primary speaker at the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities’ (ACCU) annual meeting, and in February, she was named a board member-at-large for the Association of Franciscan Colleges and Universities. Prior to assuming the presidency at St. Bonaventure, she served as senior vice president for the university’s Franciscan Charism, as director of its world-renowned Franciscan Institute, and as dean of Franciscan Studies. Prior to becoming a member of the Franciscan Institute faculty in 1997, she served eight years as general superior for her community, the Sisters of St. Francis of the Providence of God, in Pittsburgh. From 1995-97, she chaired a task force on leadership roles for women in the Catholic Church. She was chosen by the editors of the new Encyclopedia of Monasticism, published in 2001, to author an article titled “Franciscans: Female,” and was honored by the Franciscan Federation in 2002 for her work on the writing of the Rule for the Third Order Regular, approved by the late Pope John Paul II. An internationally known speaker on Franciscan life, she has presented numerous lectures at national and international conferences. Carney was the first woman to have earned a doctoral degree from Franciscan University in Rome, “the Antonianum.” She earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Duquesne University and a master’s degree from the Franciscan Institute.
