The focus of the congress will be to enrich participants' understanding of the Catholic Church's devotion to the Blessed Mother, Weissinger said.
An author and teacher, Hahn is a professor of scripture at Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio, and was appointed to the Pope Benedict XVI chair of Biblical Theology at St. Vincent Seminary in Latrobe, Penn. He is one of the general editors of the Ignatius Study Bible, and is author and editor of more than 20 books.
The Apostolate of Our Lady of Guadalupe was founded in El Paso in the 1950s by then Bishop Sidney M. Metzger to foster deeper devotion to the Blessed Mother.
