STOUGHTON — You may have been one of the 800 people who were blessed to hear Immaculee’ Ilibagiza speak at St. Ann Parish, Stoughton, back in March of 2017.
Or maybe you are one of the thousands who have read Ilibagiza’s book, Left to Tell, about her harrowing 100 days hidden in a tiny bathroom with six other women and one child, in an attempt to avoid being killed by members of the Hutu tribe in her home country of Rwanda in Eastern Africa.Either way, St. Ann Parish is blessed to welcome Ilibagiza back November 15 and 16 when she will host a two-day retreat that takes place that Friday evening and Saturday morning.
Ilibagiza is a New York Times best-selling author and world-renowned speaker who shares her story of escaping death by praying the Rosary, during the Rwandan genocide. In that three-month period, more than 800,000 members of her tribe were slaughtered, including her mom, dad, two brothers, grandparents, and many extended family members and friends.
Ilibagiza will continue to share her message of faith, forgiveness, and hope during the retreat. It runs from 5 until 9 p.m. on Friday and from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. on Saturday.
