Events You Can’t Miss This Week
By Ellice Ellis ‘20
There is no better way make the most of your week than taking a study break and going to a cool event. Personally, I try to go to one non-academic event a week. I like to view them as mini-adventures, introduce myself to something new, meet new people, and take a break from studying.
So to help you create some new memories and learn something new here are some events happening this week (Jan 23rd-Jan 27th).
Tuesday: Barking to the Choir with Fr. Greg Boyle
This Tuesday (January 23rd) at the Caruso Catholic Center (across from the USC Village)
Father Gregory Boyle, the founder of Homeboy Industries, will be presiding at the 5:30pm Mass and then will give a talk at 6:30pm on his new book, Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship.
His organization Homeboy Industries provides job training positions and free social services for formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated men and women.
Father Boyle will share about on the lessons he’s learned working with gang members in Los Angeles.
