MARQUETTE — Architectural Beauty: The Churches Of Corrado Parducci will be presented from 7:30-9 p.m. Friday at St. Peter Cathedral.

This special concert features a history talk by Marquette Regional History Center member Russ Magnaghi. Collaborating with the Cathedral, the program will highlight Italian-American architectural sculptor, Corrado Giuseppe Parducci, who was responsible for much of St. Peter Cathedral’s beautification following the 1935 fire. The concert will pair Cathedral history with Italian music to accent its architectural heritage.

Free, donations welcome. Marquette Regional History Center event in partnership with the St. Peter Cathedral Concert Series. Call 906-226-3571 for more info, or visit marquettehistory.org.

Career Pathways applications

ROSCOMMON — Students ready for an intensive, inspiring four days immersed in natural resources learning are encouraged to submit their applications for this year’s Career Pathways Program, June 23-27 at the Ralph A. MacMullan Conference Center on Higgins Lake in Roscommon County.

Program highlights include hands-on field experiences with wildlife and fish biologists, foresters, park rangers and conservation officers.

DNR Education Manager Kevin Frailey oversees the program, now in its second year. “Over the course of a year, our department gets hundreds of inquiries from parents and students about natural resources careers,” he said in a news release. “We wanted to create a sampler of many of our key positions and let students learn about these unique career paths from the professionals themselves.”

Research shows the value of the “resident experience” in terms of learning and retention, so Career Pathways participants spend their five days and four nights at the northern Michigan conference center. Aside from field work with DNR professionals, students also get the opportunity to meet representatives from Michigan colleges and get tips on resume building and interviewing for jobs.

Applications are due Friday and selections will be made by May 1. More information and a downloadable application are available at the Career Pathways webpage.

For more information, contact Kevin Frailey at fraileyk@michigan.gov or Bruce Ross at brucej.ross@yahoo.com.
