McNeill, the first president of what is today Newman University, has been the subject of both last year’s and this year’s Mission Talks series at Newman. Each talk has focused on a period of McNeill’s journey, starting with his early days as a priest and educator. The April 7 talk will provide a summary of McNeill’s life. It is the last of the eight Mission Talks on Monsignor McNeill and the last Mission Talk for the 2014-15 year.
Watch the video below on the March 4 Mission Talk by Father Dwight Birket entitled “McNeill: The Priest.”
