Matthew Leonard is coming to New Oxford, PA!

One of the exciting things I get to do through my work here at The Catholic Book Blogger is to bring speakers I interview to my home parish in New Oxford, PA. In 2013 we hosted Mike Aquilina, in 2014 we hosted Scott Hahn, this May we hosted Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle and on August 29th at Immaculate COnception Church BVM we welcome Matt Leonard. As my spiritual director has said “Little New Oxford, PA the hub of evangelization in Adams County….who woulda thunk?” Come and experience what has been a great day of spiritual renewal at these past events and certainly will be with Matt Leonard this time. If you are near the New Oxford, PA area why not come join us? If out-of-town make a weekend of it and visit nearby historic Gettysburg, PA. Here are the details of the event:

Matthew Leonard is an internationally known speaker, author, radio host, and Executive Director of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology (founded by Dr. Scott Hahn).
