Father Larry Richards will present the Springfield Deanery’s fourth annual Catholic Lecture in memory of Deacon Jack Gould:

“His topic: “The Truth”. Are you ready? You will be confronted with The Truth—straight and simple. The Truth tackles some of life’s biggest questions with straight-forward, timeless and often jolting answers. Join Father Larry in this one-of-a-kind, life-affirming reality check—as he unlocks the mysteries of our own existence and opens our hearts and souls to the meaning of life. The Truth will give you concrete ways on how life is to be lived. It is either the greatest of arrogance or the greatest reality to say that this talk is The Truth, but now that is for you to decide.”

Father Larry is a priest of the Diocese of Erie, Pennsylvania. Founder ofThe Reason for Our Hope Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to “spreading the Good News” by educating others about Jesus Christ and the Catholic faith through CDs, DVDs and books, he hosts several radio programs for EWTN and Relevant Radio, and was a keynote presenter at year’s men’s conferences in Cincinnati and Indiana. The series is named in honor of Deacon Jack Gould, a long standing member of St. Teresa Parish in Springfield, Ohio, who was a passionate defender of the Catholic Faith, and an advocate of the propagation of the Faith through education.
