Incarnating Hispanic/Latinx Theology in Song April 19

The next theme of the Scranton's Story, Our Nation's Story University and community partner-led project focuses on 'The Religious Tapestry of Scranton: Past and Present.'

Experience the theme with 'Caminemos con Jesus: Incarnating Hispanic/Latinx Theology in Song' on Wednesday, April 19 at 7 p.m. in the Madonna Della Strada Chapel.

Join Tony Alonso, Latin Grammy nominated composer of sacred music, Cuban-American Roman Catholic, and a scholar at Emory University whose work responds to the diverse multicultural realities of contemporary culture.

This event will include a theological and musical reflection on how Hispanic/Latinx theology shapes his work through his groundbreaking album, "Caminemos con Jesus," that celebrates the beauty, passion, and vitality of Cuban music. He will invite a deeper discernment of the relationship between theology, culture and the arts in pastoral contexts.

The event is free and open to the public and will include a lecture, bi-lingual English/Spanish live music, and audience Q & A. It will reflect on change and cultural impacts in religious communities and parishes here in Scranton and across the nation.

Registration requested but not required.
