(Stony Point, NY – February 7) – Quadriplegic turned inspirational speaker Billy Keenan will be speak in Lee Hall at the Marian Shrine on Sunday, February 13, at 2:00 pm EST. A well-known musician who supplemented his high school teacher’s salary with Irish music gigs for many years, Mr. Keenan was catastrophically injured in a surfing accident on the Jersey Shore in September 2013. The accident severed Keenan's spinal cord and left him unable to use his hands or legs. Along with special guest, Fr. Tom Ruekert, SDB, Mr. Keenan will speak about his accident and how his faith led to his recovery in a presentation called “A Conversation with Billy Keenan: Keeping the Faith Through Tough Times.” There is no charge for the event.
