For sixteen
consecutive years, the Duneland community has hosted a prayer breakfast
patterned after the National Prayer Breakfast gatherings in Washington, D.C.
This year’s event will be held on Wednesday, October 4, at Trinity Hall at
St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, located at 640 N. Calumet Rd. in Chesterton.
The doors will open at 7:00 a.m. Breakfast starts promptly at 7:30 a.m. and
the goal to conclude at 9:00 a.m.
This year’s keynote
speaker is Mark Heckler, President of Valparaiso University since 2008. He
is a dedicated educator with more than 35 years of experience as a professor
and administrator. His first nine years have been marked by enrollment
growth, program and facilities expansion, greater diversity and
internationalization, and alumni engagement.
The Community
Prayer Breakfast is organized by a group of local men and women to provide a
time of fellowship and reflection for people of all faiths in the midst of
our ever changing world. Please join in this year to hear President
Heckler’s inspirational message.
The cost for the
2017 Community Prayer Breakfast is $20 per person or $160 per table of
eight. Tickets are available at Anton Insurance, Chesterton Tribune,
Duneland Chamber of Commerce, Duneland Family YMCA, and the Duneland Resale
in Chesterton, and Anton Insurance in Valparaiso.
