“STORIES OF FAITH AND FAMILY” PRESENTATION AT VITERBO UNIVERSITY APRIL 20
LA CROSSE, Wis. – Viterbo University faculty member Tom Thibodeau will present “Stories of Faith and Family” at 7 p.m. Monday, April 20 in the San Damiano Chapel on campus.
This presentation, which is sponsored by the Paula Ripple Comin Memorial Endowed Lectureship, is free and open to the public.
Thibodeau said the topic was selected because of the tremendous influence a family—nuclear or extended—can play in the life of an individual.
“Faith and family are gifts for a lifetime,” said Thibodeau, who will be joined at the presentation by members of his family. “As adults, we treasure what our parents have given us. We will share the joy and struggle of childhood, which shapes our lives for eternity.”
Thibodeau is an associate professor of religious studies and philosophy at Viterbo, where he started in 1984. He and his wife, Priscilla, have been married 29 years and have three children.
