Join Sr. Kayjoy Cooper, acj, two-time transplant survivor who has undergone dialysis for 19 years, and Patricia DeAngelis, two-time cancer survivor, as they walk you through their journeys of finding God’s love and peace through illness and suffering. They understand the range of emotions that illness brings, including fear, sadness, elation, disappointment, and the need to hope. Through these sessions, they will share their experiences of receiving God’s help and abundance in ways they never could have imagined.
