About This Event

Join us for an exploration of virtue and power of forgiveness as a parent.

Told from the perspective of the wife, Patti, and son, Connor, of Steven McDonald, former NYC police officer who was shot and paralyzed in the line of duty in 1986 and famously forgave his assailant. This event will invite you to explore forgiveness as a spiritual practice and powerful tool for healing, growth, and engagement with your son and boost your ability to be a parent of faith. You’ll learn how to turn forgiveness into action, creating a home environment rooted in compassion, resilience, and love that has the power to heal, restore and strengthen your family’s bond.

Following the presentation you are invited to enjoy a sit-down dinner. The main course will be provided by the Parents Club Board. Attendees will be sent a signup genius link after registration in the event they are able to contribute a side dish and/or dessert that evening.

Date: November 12, 2025
Time: 6:30 p.m.
Location: Meribah Retreat House, 1904 Muttontown Rd., Glen Head, NY 11545
