Death Penalty Foe and Author of Dead Man Walking Will Present Stories of Forgiveness and Reconciliation
Come hear Sister Helen Prejean on November 30, 2011 at 7 p.m. in Aurora, Colorado. All are welcome, admission is free.
Sister Helen is the author of Dead Man Walking and The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions. Susan Sarandon portrayed Sister Helen in the 1996 award-winning film Dead Man Walking.
Sister Helen examines how flaws inextricably entwined in the death penalty system inevitably lead to innocent people being executed. Since 1984, Sister Helen has divided her time between campaigning against the death penalty and counseling individual death row prisoners. She is not only knowledgeable, committed and inspiring, she's also down to earth, funny and a thoroughly engaging speaker.
St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church and Coloradans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty are pleased to sponsor Sister Helen's lecture as part of St Michael's Religious Education program.
