August 18, 2013

Today, Sunday the 18th of August, an old friend and relatively young priest, Fr. Michael Gaitley MIC, will offer a mini-Retreat in St. John Church:

2:00 p.m.-2:50 p.m.
"The Second Greatest Story Ever Told"

3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m.
Chaplet of Divine Mercy

3:10 p.m.-3:30 p.m.
Break

3:30 p.m.-4:20 p.m.
"Living the Faith to the Fullest"

4:30p.m.-5:00 p.m.
Book Signing

I offered the Nuptial Mass and received the vows for Father Gaitley's brother and sister-in-law nine years and twelve days ago on the Feast of the Transfiguration when Father was still a seminarian.

Father's mission as a priest of the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception began almost three years ago. He already has written several popular books and his promotion of Divine Mercy here is itself a mission of mercy.

All of the proceeds from his book sales today will benefit the medical fund established recently to benefit one of our young parishioners, Edward Hambleton, who has been battling a little known disease called PANDAS, (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections).

The Ed Hambleton Medical Fund is close to reaching its goal of $53,500 so please pray for Ed, confident that the Divine Physician's grace will heal him, and please come to hear and pray with Father Gaitley if you are able.

God bless you.
