2024-04-05 14:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | Angela Hospice Care Center, 14100 Newburgh Road, Livonia, MI, 48154, United States
The Angela Cares educational speakers series seeks to empower community members by engaging them in topics that are both practical and intriguing. Our goal is to share insight that will help individuals as they navigate unfamiliar – and yet, not uncommon – experiences related to end of life, grief, health, wellness, spirituality, and family dynamics.

When someone dies, loved ones may suddenly find themselves taking on new responsibilities. Cooking might be one of them. But even those who have been cooking for years may need to adjust when they begin living alone. Learn cooking techniques and tips – and try recipes – from a past contestant from the TV show Chopped, chef Allie Lyttle. This in-person seminar is presented as part of the Angela Cares series.

About Chef Allie Lyttle:Allie Lyttle is the owner of Lala’s & Lala’s Too, currently located in Brighton, Michigan. Allie started at 18 years old when she was in nursing school and ended up leaving her program to pursue her dream of becoming a Chef. Allie has had the pleasure of working all over Ann Arbor & Detroit, mostly notably Zingerman’s Roadhouse, Zingerman’s Cornman Farms, Parks & Rec Diner and BonBonBon. She most recently became the Executive Chef at The Standard Bistro & Larder in 2019 and once the pandemic happened they decided they needed to pivot to better serve their community and the idea of Lala’s was born – an elevated comfort food spot with a fresh & funky menu that rotates often and helps folks expand their culinary mind. She decided to branch out on her own and open Lala’s Too, an elevated comfort food grab and go destination, while looking for the perfect location to reopen Lala’s, the restaurant. Fun facts: She is a collector of vintage pyrex and lover of bourbon, coffee, and salt. She doesn’t remember her natural hair color anymore and has more cookbooks than most libraries.

With Catherine Lanni

In each of our lives there is a need for healing, whether it be physical, mental or spiritual. It is through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Divine Mercy Itself, that we are able to receive this healing that each of us so deeply desires. Catherine Lanni will speak about her personal experience of the healing power of Jesus’ Divine Mercy, the importance of Divine Mercy in today’s world, and how this message can help bring us hope in today’s world.

Catherine Lanni’s journey, from a miraculous healing to founding the Servants of Jesus of The Divine Mercy and establishing the Shrine of Jesus The Divine Mercy, reflects deep gratitude and a commitment to spreading the Divine Mercy message. After a life-saving encounter with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Catherine fulfilled a promise to “do something good” for Jesus, leading to the establishment of the Servants of Jesus of The Divine Mercy and the Sisters of Jesus’ Merciful Passion. Her dedication to sharing the Divine Mercy message is evident in her book “A Call to Trust,” showcasing the power of faith and fulfilling a promise through a life devoted to serving others in the name of Divine Mercy.

Throughout its history, we have always celebrated the incredible work that defines and redefines the flexible definition of “Craft” based on the vision of Sylvia L. Rosen, the artists that we present, and the jurors we have been honored to work with. With the passing of Sylvia in 2022 at the age of 102, we take on greater responsibility as we enter this new era. We move forward knowing that we are honoring her and her vision, and through intention and diligence, we continue to make her proud.

History: When an earthquake devastated Haiti in 2010, Felician Sisters responded with compassion, solidarity, and commitment to human dignity for all. Since then, our mission has worked to empower the resilient Haitian people with initiatives to provide clean water, access to health care, education, and the job skills needed to strengthen their country.

As violence escalated and targeted human aid organizations in the fall of 2022, the U.S. Embassy urged the missionary sisters to leave the country. The mission work continues thanks to the efforts of the Haitian mission staff and direction from the sisters who stay in touch with the staff and fund the supplies, salaries and living expenses of the staff.

Read more about Felician Mission: Haiti in our Annual Haiti Report or on our Mission Haiti Page.

History: When an earthquake devastated Haiti in 2010, Felician Sisters responded with compassion, solidarity, and commitment to human dignity for all. Since then, our mission has worked to empower the resilient Haitian people with initiatives to provide clean water, access to health care, education, and the job skills needed to strengthen their country.

As violence escalated and targeted human aid organizations in the fall of 2022, the U.S. Embassy urged the missionary sisters to leave the country. The mission work continues thanks to the efforts of the Haitian mission staff and direction from the sisters who stay in touch with the staff and fund the supplies, salaries and living expenses of the staff.
