Our Guest Speaker: DENNY CHARBONNET

Denny grew up as an only child in a devout Catholic home. She attended Catholic schools. Her mother had breast cancer while Denny was in high school but recovered. Shortly after, she lost her father to an unexpected heart attack. Denny’s plans to attend Theatre Arts in NY were dashed. She married her high school sweetheart, but it was a troubled marriage and eventually ended in divorce. While on a pilgrimage to Medjugorje in 1987, Denny experienced an undeniable, life-changing interaction with the Blessed Mother and the Holy Spirit. Involvement with the Charismatic Renewal further solidified her conversion experience and launched her into a lifelong relationship with our Lord and his mother, Mary.
Denny has always been quick to credit God’s guiding and sustaining hand in her life. She has taught Theater Arts to hundreds of students for the past 31 years at St. Paul’s Catholic High School in Covington and has used the stage as a forum to bring Christ’s Gospel message to both her students and audiences.
Denny’s role as a mother is her most precious gift. Her children followed in her evangelistic footsteps, attending Franciscan University of Steubenville, and volunteering their time in the Catholic Church in various ways. Her oldest son, Beau, is pastor at St. Angela Merici Catholic Church in Metairie. Her son, Jean, and daughter, Elise Angelette, who passed away from cancer, and her 10 grandchildren live close by on the Northshore.

Religious books will be available for purchase at the meal.
Since the day is designed to speak to the hearts of women, free of distractions, it is respectfully requested that young children not be in attendance.
