Almost all events submitted – if they are sponsored by a Catholic parish, school or other organization in the Archdiocese of Baltimore – will be featured in the online calendar.
A human monitor will approve submissions for posting.
Events submitted by the first of the month prior to the month of the event may be considered for the print edition of Catholic Review magazine (e.g., by Jan. 1 for publication in the February magazine). So that all entities in the archdiocese have a fair opportunity to be listed in the limited space in the print publication, entities will be limited to no more than two in each calendar month print edition. If more than two have been submitted, Catholic Review Media staff will decide which items to publish, at their discretion.

Event Navigation
Denis Mukwege, M.D., Ph.D., a gynecological surgeon and Nobel peace laureate from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), will deliver Loyola University Maryland’s Hanway Lecture in Global Studies on Wednesday, Nov. 19, at 7 p.m. in McGuire Hall. The event is free and open to the public but advance registration is encouraged for in-person and virtual attendance.
Dr. Mukwege’s talk is titled “Global Demand, Enduring Violence: How the World’s Appetite for New Tech Fuels Conflict in the DRC.”
For more than 25 years, Dr. Mukwege has been treating survivors of sexual violence and women with severe gynecological problems at the Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, DRC, which he founded. He serves as the president of the hospital and the Panzi Foundation, which together are renowned for their pioneering work in specialized responses to sexual gender-based violence, and their work in advocating for the rights and empowerment of Congolese women. Dr. Mukwege and his staff at Panzi Hospital and Foundation have helped to care for more than 87,000 survivors of sexual violence since 1999.
Dr. Mukwege received his M.A. from the University of Angers in France and his M.D. from the University of Burundi. He holds a Ph.D. in Medical Sciences from the Université Libre de Bruxelles in Belgium, where he is a professor.
