6:30 – 8:30 Dinner and Program
St. John’s United Methodist Church
Hazlet, New Jersey

Keynote Speaker: Sister Helen Prejean
Helen Prejean, C.S.J., was born and brought up in Baton Rouge, and has lived in Louisiana all her life. A member of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Medaille, she has long been involved in community work among the poor. Her contact with a man on Death Row in Angola State Prison led her to become an outspoken activist both against capital punishment and as an advocate for the families of murder victims. Her book, Dead Man Walking, was nominated for a 1993 Pulitzer Prize, and was later developed into a major motion picture. Her second book, The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions, was published in 2004.
