This spring, the Felician-sponsored college and universities will welcome Sister Helen Prejean CSJ, internationally recognized author and advocate for the abolition of the death penalty. She will visit Felician University on March 16, Villa Maria College on March 18, and Madonna University on March 19, engaging students, faculty, and members of the wider community in thoughtful dialogue on justice and human dignity.
Best known for her groundbreaking book “Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States,” Sister Helen will share reflections from her decades of ministry accompanying death row inmates and the families of victims. Her presentations will invite audiences to consider the moral complexities of the justice system and the call to uphold the dignity of every human life, encouraging thoughtful engagement with issues of social justice grounded in faith.
