May 17 – Adult Forum on “Death in Wartime China: A Daughter’s Discovery,” by Judy Ikels

Sunday, May 17  |  10:00 am - 11:00 am  |  Parish Hall/Zoom (bit.ly/STJNmain)  -  

Parishioner Judy Ikels will share about the deeply personal journey detailed in her 2022 book, Death in Wartime China: A Daughter's Discovery. The book follows her search for answers about the father she never knew—an American pilot who perished in a secret mission during World War II. Her talk will weave together archival research, emotional discovery, and a modern-day pilgrimage to China, where she uncovered a memorial to her father and connected with local villagers who still honor him today.
