Fr. Benedict Groeschel Joins Magnificat Academy Board of Advisors

Magnificat Academy is pleased and honored to announce that Fr. Benedict Groeschel, CFR, has agreed to become a member of the Academy's Board of Advisors. Fr. Groeschel is the founder of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (some of whom joined us for the school's retreat at the North American Martyrs Shrine last fall), host of EWTN's Sunday Night Live television show, and a well-known and well-loved Catholic author and speaker.

Fr. Groeschel joins an already impressive and talented group of Advisors, including:

• Joseph Pearce, Catholic author of Small is Still Beautiful, biographer of G.K. Chesterton, J.R.R. Tolkien, Hilaire Belloc; Professor of Literature at Ave Maria University
• John Galten, former Director of the Ignatius Institute at University of San Francisco and Founding Director of Campion College
• Dr. Susan Treacy, Professor of Sacred Music at Ave Maria University; member, Board of Directors, Church Music Association of America
• Philip Lawler, Founding Editor of Catholic World News, Editor Emeritus of Catholic World Report, author of The Faithful Departed

Magnificat Academy is certainly blessed to be able to draw upon such a talented and faithful group of Advisors in fulfilling its mission.
