As we celebrate
Founder’s Week 2007, we continue to increase our knowledge of
the Vincentian heritage of St. John’s and to impart the Vincentian
spirit and tradition into the 21st century. Our theme of
“Solidarity” emphasizes our commitment to a global
civilization.
“Forgiveness and Reconciliation: A Path
to Global Solidarity”
Speaker
Immaculée Ilibagiza, author of Left to Tell: Discovering God
Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust
As a college student, Immaculée lost most of her family, but
survived the Rwandan genocide. She discovered the challenge of her
faith and took the difficult path to forgive and rebuild. Recently
seen on “60 Minutes”, “PBS TV” and featured in the NY Daily News,
Immaculée has used her survival, her education and her talent to
work with the United Nations Development Program, establish a
foundation to assist the women and children of Rwanda and lecture
throughout the world on the need for understanding and forgiveness
as the means to peace.
