The Fe y Alegria schools are astonishing and transformative, educating hundreds of children in very tough urban neighborhoods. Accompanied by Marco Gomez, S.J., who will serve as translator, Fr. Cardenal will speak about his life-long commitment to the people of Nicaragua and Fe y Alegría at a presentation on Wednesday, October 30 7:00 p.m. in the Chemistry Lecture Hall, Room 114 on the McNichols campus of University of Detroit Mercy, 4001 West McNichols, Detroit.
