TCC Lecture “Treasure in Earthen Vessels”: The Power of God’s Word in the Sacraments
Thursday, February 17 at 7:30pm in the Mezzanine Lounge/Student Center (W20-307)

Catholics have long been accused of “hocus pocus” for believing in the efficacy a few choice words in conferring the Sacraments. Join us as we trace the revelation of the power of God’s word through salvation history - from the beginning until the coming of age of Christ and his Church. Essential elements of the Sacraments will be discussed, with special attention to Holy Matrimony and Holy Orders.

Lecturer: Fr. Michael studied in Rome, earning Summa Cum Laude for his STB in Theology and STL in Biblical Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University. In spring of 2018, he studied for a semester at the Dominican university of the École biblique et archéologique française (EBAF) in Jerusalem. His STL thesis is entitled “A Literary-Rhetorical Analysis of Ephesians 5:22-24: ‘Wives be Submissive to Your Husbands’”.

Before studying in Rome, Fr. Michael earned his Bachelor of Philosophy in 2013 at St. John’s Seminary in Brighton, MA. While in seminary, Fr. Michael has participated in mission trips to Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries in Central America, Africa, and Europe. Fr. Michael entered seminary upon completing a BA/MA in Chemistry from Boston University in 2011 as a Cardinal Medeiros Scholar, Scarlet Key Recipient, and Captain of the Track Team. Fr. Michael grew up in Needham, MA, where his parents still reside. He attended St. Joseph’s Parish and the Elementary School and Monsignor Haddad Middle School before going to Xaverian Brothers High School in Westwood, MA and participating in the Life Teen program at St. Mary’s in Dedham, MA.
