Peter Kreeft! Janet Smith! And More Fr. Coughlin!


For those of you on campus or nearby, you might be interested to know that a whole flock of Catholic celebs will be speaking at Notre Dame Right to Life's annual Collegiate Conference this Saturday! It's so good that even I plan on getting away from my drafting desk in the Architecture School for a little while.
