Sundays have been Angie’s favorite day of the week this year.
She spends each week with friends at Saint John Neumann Catholic Church for Mass. Angie especially looks forward to the Adaptive Religious Education (ARE) program, led by her friends George Dellagiarino and Chris Brasco. ARE meets every two weeks to teach Gospel lessons and discuss their meanings with participants who have disabilities. Angie jokes she also loves the coffee at ARE sessions.
