The University of St. Thomas, in partnership with Othonia, a global center founded on sharing information and education about the Shroud of Turin, is proud to announce that Fr. Andrew Dalton, LC, a well-known international speaker on the Shroud of Turin, will visit the St. Thomas campus to speak on “Who is the Man of the Shroud?” at 7 p.m. March 30 in Jones Hall. His lecture will explore the mystery of the Shroud of Turin and will also feature a traveling exhibit detailing the Shroud and related artifacts on the first day of Holy Week.
The lecture will be at 7 p.m. on Monday, March 30 in Jones Hall, 1100 Sul Ross St. All day on March 30, Othonia’s beautiful, interactive exhibit with a life-size Shroud replica, instructive panels, and weapons of the Passion of Jesus Christ will be open for visitors in Doherty Library, 1100 W Main St, on campus to explore the Shroud’s history, science and connection to the Scriptures.
The event is free and open to the public. Fr. Dalton invites the greater Houston community to come, question and explore who the man of the Shroud is through the exhibit and lecture.
Fr. Dalton is a professor of Theology at the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum in Rome, Italy. A Catholic priest of the Legionaries of Christ, Fr. Dalton’s approach bridges the gap between scientific observation and theological interpretation. He teaches Synoptic Gospels and Biblical Greek and Hebrew, and he is also the author of “Fulfilled Israel: Matthew’s Plerosis Paradigm.”
