Peace and Justice brings in speaker from Sudan


The Peace and Justice Organization, led by Libby Perkins, Bridget Coffou and Robby McGuire, invited Father Lasuba from Rochester, Minn., to come and present on the current situation in Sudan Feb. 17.

The presentation highlighted Father Lasuba’s work with his country’s movement toward independence and the struggles and tragedy he personally has experienced. He also discussed the referendum which will allow South Sudan to become its own independent country.

This guest speaker was a continuation of a series started by Peace and Justice, with support from their connection with Catholic Relief Services, on peaceful solutions and solidarity with those who live in areas of conflict.
