MI FAMILY NEWS
Let us pray for Fr.Greenough as he spreads the MI in Asia this month.
Sick and the Suffering: Bro. Raphael Ruffolo, OFM Conv. (one of the founding members of Marytown) hospitalized with a blood clot in his lung.
All of our elderly and Knights at the Foot of the Cross and our loved ones struggling with cancer.
May she rest in peace:
Daisy Camanga, FKM Rumela’s 49 y.o. sister-in-law, died Feb 20th surrounded by her loved ones. They had prayed the rosary, Divine Mercy chaplet and sang a favored song of St. Maximilian Kolbe of a soul longing to see Mary in heaven. The family thanks all who prayed for Daisy in this last year and a half. Torrance, CA.
