a 12 year-old named Bobby who is suffering from brain cancer.  The doctors in Florida have told the Annette's sister (and Bobby's mother) that there is nothing more they can do for him, so Annette's sister is packing up and moving up this way to bring Bobby to an oncologist in Philly.If you have any special prayers that you can send out to kids in pain, I heartily recommend Annette's nephew, Bobby. 


My eldest son (30 year old) is trying to overcome alcohol addiction.  This is the longest he has gone (3 weeks) without a relapse.  He cannot do it without help.  Please remember him in your prayers.  His name is Jason.  He attended your Easter Mission in Huntley this past Monday.  He loved it.  Thank You!


I would like to request a prayer for my step-son's girlfriend, Sandra.  She would very much like to become a teacher, but she can see no way to make that happen.  She is disabled due to an accident.  Also, she would like to be able to drive again. Thank you,

"Death is not extinguishing the light

but turning off the lamp

 because the day has dawned."

Please pray for my wonderful friend, Mary F. Suskey, age 59, who died in February, 2008.  Although a Catholic, she didn't attend Church, she was a wonderful, giving person. She was the only friend I had -and I have plenty - who I truly had a good time with.  We had good, clean fun and we always ended up laughing so hard our stomachs hurt.  Please say a prayer that Our Lord will bless her abundantly, and keep her in his loving care. Thank you, Friar.

Please keep Sue Bohlman and her family in your prayers, her Mom died unexpectedly yesterday.
