Performing Arts Center &
St. Catherine of Siena Center

The coming year marks an important milestone in the life and history of Dominican University.
Twenty years ago Rosary College became Dominican University. We celebrate that
transformative moment with a yearlong exploration of themes central to our mission “to prepare
students to pursue truth, give compassionate service and participate in the creation of a more
just and humane world.”

Join us for engaging lectures and lively performances that illuminate the spirit of the university,
our founders and our namesake. Consider the cost of intolerance with Romeo & Juliet,
reflect on the life and work of Dorothy Day, be inspired by NY Times columnist and best-selling
author of The Road to Character David Brooks—or just enjoy an evening of music.

The trajectory of Dominican University is one of ongoing transformation. From a rural academy
for girls—ahead of its time academically; to the thriving, forward-thinking intellectual community
of today, we follow the Dominican star that guided our founders.

Our doors are open to the community. Let our programs spark your curiosity and encourage
your participation. As a wise Dominican sister once said, “The search for wisdom, for love, for
truth ... is strenuous and unending. It takes good companions to persevere in it.” Join us.

Donna M. Carroll
President

SIENA CENTER FALL SERIES Creating a Culture
of Mercy

The St. Catherine of Siena Center of Dominican University examines critical
issues of church and society in light of faith and scholarship. The Center calls
together a wide community of faith committed to deepening insight into the
role of the Christian in today’s world.

Pope Francis ignited imaginations and aspirations for both our Church and our
world when he proclaimed 2016 the Year of Mercy. In the wake of that year, our
series examines what concrete actions and ideas we must embrace to manifest
a culture of mercy in church and society. Our presenters explore with us the
social sin of racism, the need for justice in health care, and how poetry can help
us create social change. Join us as we challenge each other to inspire a culture
that promotes mercy, dignity, respect, and the flourishing of all creation.

To Redeem the Soul of America: Martin Luther King’s
Vision and Its Challenge to American Catholics

Rev. Bryan Massingale
Tuesday, October 24, 2017 // 7:00 p.m.
Priory Auditorium // $10
Martin Luther King declared that the goal of the Civil Rights Movement was
not just to achieve racial desegregation. Its deepest aspirations were not
only political but spiritual, in his words, to “redeem the soul of America.”
This address revisits King’s vision and explores its challenges for the U.S.
Catholic Church today. Rev. Bryan Massingale is a professor of theological and social ethics
at Fordham University and a leading Catholic social ethicist and scholar of African-American
theological ethics, racial justice and liberation theology.

This season is made possible by generous support from the Helen Brach Foundation and Peggy Sullivan.
The Siena Center is named for St. Catherine of Siena, a 14th century laywoman who worked untiringly
for the reform of the church and for social justice in the world. Her passionate devotion to the central
issues of church and society inspires the work of the center and informs its schedule. Please join us in
our exploration of current topics—social and spiritual.

Faith, Spirituality, and Caregiving

Rev. Myles Sheehan, SJ, MD

Tuesday, November 14, 2017 // 7:00 p.m.
Priory Auditorium // $10

The interaction between a caregiver and a patient has many components,
one of which is the spiritual. This presentation will focus on caregiving
as a spiritual experience with the encounter between patient and doctor
as potential holy ground. Using themes of vocation and Pope Francis’
preaching on mercy, caregiving will be explored as a call to merciful encounter between
caregiver and patient. Rev. Myles Sheehan specialized in Internal Medicine and Geriatrics.
He is an ethicist in the hospital and medical school environment.

recently the author of Dorothy Day: The World Will Be Saved By Beauty: An Intimate Portrait

ALBERTUS MAGNUS SOCIETY SERIES Healing Lives—The
Spirituality of Health Care

What does compassionate health care look like? How can professionals deliver innovative,
relationship-based health care? How do communities most in need of health care access its
services? Medical experts and theologians will examine some of the pressing issues in health
care today—topics such as end-of-life care, mission-based health care, and access to
affordable health care.

Spirituality, Health Care Reform,
and the Happy Death

Rev. Charles Bouchard, OP

Thursday, September 14, 2017 // 7:00 p.m.
Martin Recital Hall // $10

Advances in medical technology have brought many blessings, but they
have also led to soaring costs and a health care system that sometimes
seems beyond our control, especially for the frail and elderly. How can we
use technology effectively while honoring death as a spiritual event and
part of our journey back to God? How can the traditional Catholic notion of the happy death
influence debates about health care reform? A discussion of these topics will be led by Rev.
Charles Bouchard, Senior Director of Theology and Ethics at the Catholic Health Association
of the United States. 

The Vocation of Health Care—A Journey
of Accompaniment

Kristen Bayer, MSN, APN, FNP-C

Wednesday, October 11, 2017 // 7:00 p.m.
Priory Auditorium // Free

The health care profession is a vocation of journeying with patients through
some of the most fragile moments of life. From the joyous first gasps of
breath witnessed at birth to the sacred final minutes at the end of life, health
care providers embrace the full spectrum of the human life cycle. They
embrace their work as a vocation through the compassionate cultivation of their relationship
with their patients. This lecture will explore the challenges of creating a compassionate
environment for our patients in a world that often lacks compassion, especially during life’s
most vulnerable experiences. With over twenty years of nursing practice, Kristen Bayer is
educating the next generation of health care practitioners as assistant professor of nursing at
Dominican University and serves as the Interim Executive Director of Nursing.

Who has the right to citizenship? Is being European, American, or

states attempted to use race, religion, gender and ethnicity to define

Artist and the Athlete

Curated by Andrew Reyes-Burkholder, Gallery Director
September 6, 2017 – October 13, 2017 // Admission is free
Opening Reception, September 6, 4 – 7 p.m.

The Artist and the Athlete explores various connections between an artist’s creative process
and the psychology of athletics, showing that the two disciplines are akin to one another.
Bringing together sports and athletic imagery with a collection of diverse artistic practices,
the exhibition discusses themes of veneration, solitude, and branding. The Artist and the
Athlete includes photography, painting, and sculptural work by artists David Alekhougie,
Bryan McVey, Geoffry Smalley, and Wendy White.

The Shape of Things

Curated by Andrew Reyes-Burkholder, Gallery Director
October 25, 2017 – December 15, 2017 // Admission is free
Opening Reception, October 25, 4 – 7 p.m.
Through shaping, cutting, and altering the canvas, Chicago based artists Patrick Chamberlain,
Zoe Nelson, and Allison Reiums are developing past the notion of painting as a standard
rectangular form and are pushing the boundaries of the medium itself. Together their works
highlight contemporary thought on the medium by reinterpreting the shaped canvas of
the 1960’s, activating all surfaces of the canvas and asserting the concept of painting as an
object. With an expressive use of color, unconventional materials, and willingness to
experiment, these artists are defining contemporary painting in Chicago.
