Join us on February 15, 2023, as we start the USML Paluch Lecture Series with Dr. Deborah Kanter, author of "Chicago Católico: Making Catholic Parishes Mexican".

Dr. Kanter served as the John S. Ludington endowed professor of history and department chair at Albion College, and is the author of Chicago Católico, a book filled with stories about the unique evolution and relationship between Chicago and the Mexican Catholic community. The book completes her 20-year project to chronicle Mexican Catholic parishes in Chicago. She said, “I wanted to write a book that friends could give their moms for Christmas. I wanted to write a book for the general public.”

The lecture is free and open to the public, but registration is required.

Books will be available for sale!
