Claire Fontanella
Dear Fellow Parishioners, Five years ago we asked for prayers for our then 17year old granddaughter, Claire Fontanella, who had been diagnosed with an unusual form of melanoma. She was treated for a year with oral chemotherapy. She completed 4 years of college and was ready to begin an independent life. At her annual CT scan last month it was discovered the cancer was back and had metatasized to Stage IV. There is no appropriate medication available for her. Her mother, our daughter, Danielle, has taken Claire to a Gerson Wellness Clinic (www.gersonclinic.com) for a 3-week detox program and a dietary plan based on an organic plant-based diet, raw juices and natural supplements to build up her own immune system to help the body heal itself. It will require a two-year commitment to following this rigid diet and life style. Check out the documentary, "Food Cure", on YouTube or Roku if you're interested. Please keep our Claire and her family in your prayers. We would be so grateful. Thank you. Charlene and Bill Brannan

National Eucharistic Revival
The Bishops of the United States are calling for a three-year grassroots revival of devotion and belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. They believe that God wants to see a movement of Catholics across the United States, healed, converted, formed, and unified by an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist—and sent out in mission “for the life of the world.”
These three years will culminate in the first National Eucharistic Congress in the United States in almost fifty years. Almost a hundred thousand Catholics will join together in Indianapolis for a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage toward the...Read more
