Cultural Event - Maxo Vanka: Faith, Society, and the Immigrant Church in Pittsburgh

  • St Nicholas Church 24 Maryland Avenue Millvale PA 15209 (map)

NOTE: due to scheduling changes, this event is now at 2:30 pm, not 2 pm

This cultural event will feature a tour of the arresting murals of Maxo Vanka at St. Nicholas Catholic Church. We’re excited to welcome Dr. William Scott (Pitt, English) for a presentation on immigrant literature and labor history in Pittsburgh (including a glimpse into immigrant liturgical music and art).

Following Dr. Scott's presentation, Dr. DeMasi will provide a brief introduction to Maxo Vanka's theological vision and a reading of his murals in context.

Join us for beers and appetizers after the tour at Strange Roots Experimental Ales.
