2005 Catholic-Labor Network Gathering February 19, 2005 Hyatt Regency Washington 400 New Jersey Avenue, NW Washington, DC Click Here for Highligts of Gathering! C-LNG Schedule Dear Friends: Through the hard work of Tom Shellabarger of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, I want to invite you for what has become the annual Catholic-Labor Network Gathering. It is scheduled for February 19, 2005, and will be held at the Hyatt Regency Washington Hotel. The schedule for the day begins at 8:00 a.m. with Mass at the Hyatt Regency. Following Mass, we will have two presentations. The first will be by Fr. John J. O'Brien, C.P. Fr. O'Brien is the author of the recently published George G. Higgins and the Quest for Worker Justice: The Evolution of Catholic Social Thought in America, through Sheed & Ward. He will discuss Currents in Catholic Social Teaching. He will also touch on issues raised in his new book. Following Fr. O'Brien's presentation, a panel of leaders and activists will address Issues Confronting Working People. This will be an opportunity for folks to both listen to folks daily engaged in working people's issues, as well as ask questions of the panel members, and add one's own experiences. The day will culminate with a Catholic-Labor Network Gathering Luncheon. During the lunch, our keynote will be given by Kim Bobo, Executive Director of the National Interfaith Committee for Worker Justice.
