This past weekend, several of our students were asked to speak at a Human Trafficking Conference being sponsored by the Franciscan Sisters of Philadelphia.
What was the response? This a note we received from the Program Director:
"Dear Benedictine Academy,
I was so moved by Saturday's program that I had to follow up with this email. What an exceptional presentation! ! ! I t is incredible what you, Sister Donna Jo, Linda and your other students were able and continue to accomplish on behalf of trafficked persons. I was moved to tears and truly inspired throughout the entire presentation. To have young people so committed to a cause is outstanding, their gospel witness is extraordinary. Congratulations to each of you. Thank you for the example of your lives.
With gratitude and prayer,
Marie Angela Presenza
Program Coordinator"
