UPDATE …on my Aunt Jan. My Uncle called yesterday, said he went to see her and she was sitting in a chair, said hello and asked about the weather. PRAISE GOD! He said, your prayers kicked in sweetie ! I told him it wasn’t just me…so I thank you all and ask for you to continue. He said when he left the night before, he said his goodbyes and was set to plan a funeral. I told him the power of prayer can be amazing ! and he got to witness this. She’s come a long way from being incoherent to coherent…told him bet you thought I was crazy. Once she gains her strength, she’ll decide to continue with chemo due to the spread of the cancer. Peace and a Blessed Thanksgiving to all of you.

I am asking prayers for my friend Melody Wright. Her daughter Sarah has been diagnosed with Covid-19 and is struggling with its impact. Please pray for Sarah, Melody, and the entire family. Prayers are everything!

In peace, Marla

Please put my son-in-law, Ron, on the prayer chain.  My daughter Susan just left him at the ER.  Among other things, they’re going to do a chest X-ray to see if he has a fluid build-up.  They’ll also test him for the COVID virus, but the results won’t be known for 2 days.  He’s had many serious health problems over the years so he’s very susceptible to anything going around.
Thank you.
Carrol Wilhelm

UPDATE: I wanted to let all our pray-ers know that my son-in-law’s COVID test came back early, and the results were negative. He has some other issues, but he’s feeling much better, and all of us are certainly grateful for that as well as for all the prayers.

Please pray for my son-in-law, Ron Gatts. He suffers from many health problems, and now he’s in an ER with nausea, pain, possible fluid build-up, and, of course, possibly the corona virus.

Please pray for my friend, Colette Beaudroux and her husband John Andreas. She’s in serious condition in the hospital, suffering from COVID-19.

I (Deacon Tom) have been trying to touch base with parishioners via telephone since COVID19 has eliminated the “face-to-face”. In these conversations parishioners have asked for prayers for the following people. Their specific need and their last names are irrelevant. But the fact that prayer has been requested should be enough that you and I will name them as we enter into prayer… Joseph, Mark, Kevin, Vincent, Rick, Rita, Jessie.
