SIOUX CITY, Iowa – Briar Cliff University associate professor of theology Sister Michaela Galles, OSF, will present “Sacred Time, Sacred Space, Encountering God,” at 7 p.m., Thursday, March 19 in the Saint Francis Center in the Stark Student Center on campus.

Sponsored by BCU’s Faculty Development Committee, Galles’ presentation will incorporate the history of special times and places that are recognized as sacred.
