"Trauma and the Post-COVID Church"
Presented by Fr. Chris Luoni
Sacramental Minister of Portage County
Wednesday, April 24
6 to 8 p.m.
St. Joan of Arc Parish - Father Stenson Center
8894 St. Rt. 14, Streetsboro, OH 44241When we hear the word “trauma” we often think of a significant, painful situation. Trauma, however, can take many forms and fashions as it affects all of our lives. How often do we recognize and deal with the traumas in our lives? The COVID pandemic was a life-changing event that called us to meet trauma and deal with it. How do we as Christians respond to trauma in our lives and the lives of others? In what ways can faith help us to find peace and hope in the face of adversity.
The evening includes a delicious buffet dinner beginning at 6 p.m. (with a cash bar) followed by a guest speaker, 7 to 8 p.m. Tickets are $25.00 per person. Advanced reservations are required by April 17 with your ticket purchase through the Parish Office (330-274-2253). Please make checks out to St. Joan of Arc Parish.
