Lumen Speaker Series: Fr. Robert Fath of Alaska

  • Prince of Peace Catholic Newman Center 4502 20th Avenue Northeast Seattle, WA, 98105 United States (map)

Similar to Theology on Tap, a Lumen event is when we host a young adult or outside speaker, but also chant night prayer together (called “Compline”) with the Dominican Friars. This is followed by our social, when we share a refreshing pint of beer or non-alcoholic drink.

This week, we have Fr. Robert Fath from the Fairbanks diocese

"You will be my witnesses to the end of the earth (Acts1:8): Ministry and mission at the top of the world."

Fr. Robert will speak about the fascinating history of Catholic missionary activity in northern Alaska along with the realities and blessings of living and working in one of the most remote places in the United States.

Fr. Robert Fath is the first homegrown priest for the Diocese of Fairbanks in Alaska. Ordained in 2007, he has served Parochial Vicar of Sacred Heart Cathedral, pastor of St. Nicholas Church in North Pole, and the Director of Faith and Family Formation. Currently, he is serves as the Vicar General, Judicial Vicar and Vocation Director, as well as chaplain to the interior fire departments

The speaker begins at 7pm sharp (plan to arrive a bit early) and the pub social ends at 10pm.

*** If you plan to leave before 10PM, you MUST park at UW parking lot N5 (5 min walk away), or else your car will be double parked in.
