Sara Larson, Executive Director, AWAKE, will present “No Going Back: What Abuse Survivors Can Teach Us About Being Catholic Today” on Monday, April 20, 2026, at 5 p.m. Brennan Hall #228, Pearn Auditorium
Awake includes a nationwide community of abuse survivors, concerned Catholics, and allies responding to the wounds of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n
Larson will address the question of what it means to be Catholic, here and now, in response to what is often called the ongoing \u201cabuse\u00a0crisis\u201d in the church. It is a difficult topic, but Larson infuses all of her work, including outreach to\u00a0abuse\u00a0survivors, with a perspective of hope.<\/p>\n
