(KAIR)--The spring semester is in the final month’s stretch, with Atchison’s Benedictine College putting the finishing touches in the planning for its May 14 annual Commencement Exercises.

College President Stephen Minnis, during a co-host appearance on the 93.7 FM morning show, said the well known Commencement Speaker, set to receive an honorary degree, is creating excitement for the college. “Our Commencement Speaker, and honorary degree recipient, is Bishop Robert Barron. He’s an auxiliary Bishop in Los Angeles, and, in the Catholic World, probably well known for Word On Fire. He’s a very great communicator and does these amazing videos and he’s a very good homilist, and just very, very well known, so we’re excited about having him out.”

As part of the ceremonies, Patrick J. Reilly, founder and president of The Cardinal Newman Society, will receive an honorary degree from Benedictine College.

According to the college, Reilly has a son graduating from BC, and will be awarded an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree.

He has authored and edited numerous articles, reports, studies, and other publications on Catholic education for the Newman Society and national media, making appearances on EWTN, Fox News, MSNBC, and numerous radio programs.
