After a day (for some, a whole weekend) celebrating a Catholic holiday, think you can handle one more day of contemplation? Sure you can.

Tonight at the University of San Francisco, the school invites you to hang out with MSNBC host and long pauser Chris Matthews (did you know he used to write for the Chron and the Ex?) and San Francisco's Auxiliary Bishop Robert W. McElroy.

Matthews, as USF's Senior Director of Media Relations Anne-Marie Devine reminds us, worked in the White House as a presidential speechwriter before serving as top aide to then Speaker of the House, Tip O'Neill. McElroy is the author of several books on American theology and social ethics within American foreign policy.

According to Devine, attendees can expect an "inspiring conversation about public service, faith, and the current political landscape" from the Harvard and Stanford educated bishop and the television host.

When: Doors open at 6pm; program begins at 6:30pm (seating is first come, first seated).
