SUMMARY:Heritage Talk: Eucharist and Dorothy Day
DESCRIPTION:Easter Sunday 2024 marked the centennial anniversary of the celebration of the first Public Mass held inside the National Shrine. The celebration of the inauguration of the liturgical life of this grand and noble votive church in honor of Mary\, the Immaculate Conception\, will be celebrated throughout 2024 and 2025. \nWe invite you to join us in the Crypt Church for the next Heritage Talk on Saturday July 20\, 2024\, following the 12:10 p.m. Mass. \nDr. William L. Portier\, PhD\, the former Mary Ann Spearin Chair of Catholic Theology at the University of Dayton\, will offer a presentation entitled “Eucharist and Dorothy Day.” Dr. Portier is the president (2014-18) of the College Theology Society and a member of the National Board of the Lilly Fellows Program Network. \nFollowing the event\, the presentation will be made available for viewing on the National Shrine’s Website and YouTube Channel. \n\nMore About the Talk:\nDr. William L. Portier\, noted theologian\, author\, respected teacher\, will speak on the Eucharist and the life of Dorothy Day. \nThe life of this remarkable woman is filled with many twists and turns\, many epiphanies that help to form a woman of conviction and of faith.  Dr. Portier will speak of Dorothy’s vision of “the importance of making the Eucharist present in our everyday life.” In addition\, he will speak of the sacramental life of the National Shrine and the relationship of Dorothy with the National Shrine\, particularly of one day in December 1932\, when Dorothy attended Mass in the Crypt Church and offered the prayer that would change her life. \nDorothy Day and the Eucharist is not something new; she was already writing about the Mystical Body of Christ in 1935. What is new is the perspective that time and history has given to scholars such as Dr. Portier\, a historical and systematic theologian. \n\nSelect Publications by William L. Portier:\nEvery Catholic An Apostle: A Life of Thomas A. Judge\, CM\, 1868-1933 (Catholic University Press\, 2017). \nDivided Friends: Portraits of the Roman Catholic Modernist Crisis in the United States (2013). \nTradition and Incarnation: Foundations of Christian Theology (1993). \nIsaac Hecker and the First Vatican Council\, Including Hecker’s “Notes in Italy\, 1869-1870” (1985). \nPublication Pending by William L.
