Heart's Desire & Social Change Fr. Daniel Groody, C.S.C.

We are hard at work on season 2! While you await new episodes, we thought that you would enjoy another conversation that Fr. Dan had with Richard Rohr, the renowned Franciscan priest, author, and spiritual teacher. Fr. Richard came to visit us at the University of Notre Dame campus and spoke before a live audience at the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.

You can listen to the first half of the conversation in the previous episode, and the full video on YouTube.

Thank you for listening! We want to thank Fr. Richard Rohr for joining us, as well as Lauren Fox and John Groden for producing. We would also like to thank Tom Schreier, Emily Turner, and Ashley Baranowski of the Inspired Leadership Initiative for coordinating the event, as well as the staff of the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center and ND Studios for hosting and recording the conversation. We would also like to thank Michael Poffenberger, the Executive Director of Richard’s Center for Action and Contemplation, for collaborating and visiting us at Notre Dame.
