Mark K  Shriver ~ A Good Man “Faith, Hope and Love in Action”

Thursday August 7, 2014 at 7:00 PM  ~ Mark will use his father’s example to glean insights about the durability of faith, a faith that demands acts of hope and love. How did Sargent Shriver create the Peace Corps, lead the War on Poverty - including the development of such programs as Head Start, Legal Services, Foster Grandparents, and VISTA - expand Special Olympics around the globe, and still attend Mass on a daily basis? How was he happily married for 56 years, raising five kids all of whom loved him, and always so joyful? Sharing the lessons he learned in writing his New York Times best-selling and Christopher Award-winning memoir, “A Good Man: Rediscovering My Father, Sargent Shriver,” Mark will explore the source of his father’s joy—his faith—and how it sustained him through life. It is this faith that can help us all as we strive to be better men and women, to be as good a human being as Sargent Shriver.
