NEW YORK, May 9, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- The following is released by Communion and Liberation:

Join us on June 2, 2016, at 7 p.m. for a discussion featuring Timothy Cardinal Dolan and Rev. Richard Veras on the life and works of Monsignor Luigi Giussani, an Italian priest, thinker, and educator who pioneered a new way to speak about Christ to modern men and women. The event will be the first in the annual "Giussani Series on Faith and Modernity," to be held at the Sheen Center in New York City.

The focus of the evening will be the life of Msgr. Giussani--founder of the ecclesial movement Communion and Liberation--and his impact on today's culture, thinking, and Church. This inaugural event will be entitled, "Christ, God's Companionship with Man", which is the title of an anthology, recently published, of Giussani's thought.

This is a ticketed event that is free and open to the public. Space is limited. Tickets are available at the Sheen Center.

For those outside of NYC, the event will be live-streamed beginning at 7pm EST. You can see the live stream here. You can watch the event live or any time following the event.

For interviews prior or after the event, please contact:
