Wednesday, March 16 at 7:00pm: Author Night with Dr. James O’Connell at St. John the Evangelist Church

Please join us for a special evening with Dr. James J. O’Connell, author of Stories from the Shadows: Reflections of a Street Doctor, and president of Boston Healthcare for the Homeless Program (BHCHP). (BHCHP will be the recipient of this year’s Collaborative Lenten Gift.) Dr. O’Connell’s collection of stories and essays, written during thirty years of caring for people experiencing homelessness in Boston, gently illuminates the humanity and raw courage of those who struggle to survive and find meaning and hope while living on the streets.

We encourage everyone to read Dr. O’Connell’s memoir, but it is not necessary to have read the book to benefit from his lecture – all are strongly urged to attend!  Admission is free and copies of his book will available for purchase in the lobby.
