About Our Speaker: Donna Cori
Donna lives in the Midwest and has been sharing her Catholic songs, sung prayers and meditations for 24 years via Golden Arrow Music. She has been a repeated guest at many conferences and events from coast to coast, and her beautiful voice can be heard on Catholic radio nationwide, on EWTN Global Catholic Network and short-wave radio station WEWN. She is recommended by notable Catholics, such as Dr. Scott Hahn and Jeff Cavins.
Donna began a music career in secular music but realized that she needed to sing for Jesus Christ and His Kingdom alone. We are so pleased to bring her to Buffalo to offer this special day to deepen our Love for Jesus Our Lord – A LENTEN DAY OF REFLECTION. This event will include a breakfast bar in the morning, Donna’s testimony, lunch right in the event room, and then a heart touching Way of the Cross journey using video with Donna’s original songs. Please come to experience a special Lenten journey that will bring you closer to Jesus.
“I will sing to the Lord all the days of my Life. While I have breath, I will sing to HIS praise”
Psalm 104:33
