The Hank Center and the Jesuit Community are delighted to welcome Marco Impagliazzo, President of the Community of Sant'Egidio, for an evening of insight and conversation. Founded just after Vatican II, Sant'Egidio is a Christian community that pays close attention to the periphery and peripheral people- gathering men and women of all ages and conditions, uniting all by a fraternal tie through the listening of the Gospel, and a practicing voluntary commitment with (and for) the poor so as to engender peace. Sant'Egidio has become a network of communities in more than 70 countries of the world. Most recently, Pope Francis has asked members of the Sant'Egidio community to lead peace efforts in Ukraine on his behalf. Dr. Impagliazzo, a professor of History at University of Roma Tre, has been instrumental in this work, and has served the church in the living out of the Gospel in three different pontificates.
