Stang Symposium on Human Trafficking

Sunday, February 12  |  1 to 3 p.m.  |  Auditorium

The CJ class of 2012 will kick off their Senior Justice Project with the second annual Stang Symposium on Human Trafficking on Sunday, Feb. 12 from 1 to 3 p.m.

CJ Community Update:  Stang Symposium on Human Trafficking >

While many people in the U.S. believe human trafficking is something outside of our country, our keynote speaker Theresa Flores will share how trafficking is something that happens to our own children and neighbors. As author of The Slave Across the Street and founder of TraffickFree and S.O.A.P, Theresa will peel the cover off of this horrific criminal activity and offer hope and solutions to the injustice.

Flores' mission is to raise awareness about human trafficking and mobilize individuals to act. She currently is the director of education and training for Gracehaven House, a Columbus faith-based nonprofit whose mission is to provide every girl victimized by child sex trafficking with the love, services and support she needs to redeem the life that God has given her, so she can ultimately become a healthy, productive member of her community and world.

The community is invited to learn more about human trafficking from a very personal perspective as well as find out the impact both the Marianists and Sisters of Notre Dame are having on this global issue. CJ also welcomes guest presenters Brother Don Neff, SM, and Sister Theresa Del Genio, SNDdeN.

Please join us Sunday afternoon for prayer, the keynote address and breakout sessions. If you have questions or would like more information, please email Molly Bardine, English teacher.
