F.A.R. is a speaker series for teens who are searching for a greater depth of knowledge with regard to their faith. Many teenagers have deep questions about the faith that simply cannot be answered in a compelling way by searching the internet or by asking a question at youth group.
EI brings in experts on certain topics and taps into our own staff's knowledge in order to present on timely topics of faith with the application of church teaching and reason.
All of our F.A.R. events will take place on the dates below, from 7-8PM, at the St. John Paull II Newman Center located on the UNO Campus.

Omar Gutiérrez as he shares what guidelines and advice the Church offers for forming consciences. Even if you cannot vote, you'll want to learn what the Church has to offer.
Speaker: Dcn. Omar Gutiérrez
