Please pray for Mrs. Virginia Durbin Thibodeau who died on the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows at the age of 93. She was distinguished as a "Michigan Artist", taught at the Academy of the Sacred Heart in Grosse Pointe, MI, for many years and was artist-in-residence at the school up until her death.

Mrs. T, mother of Bernadette and Joseph Thibodeau, was dear to countless Sacred Heart students and friends. Some knew her as the organizer of truly enjoyable tours of Europe; others learned how to paint under her tutelage as adults or had their portraits painted by her.

Please say prayers of thanksgiving for the goodness of the Lord.

My sister Jane Altobello Salerno, Eden Hall '64 underwent a mastectomy for breast cancer last week and had 19 lymph nodes removed for testing. The results were just returned and her lymph nodes were clear so she is free of the breast cancer.

They are all cherished and remembered in our hearts forever. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.

I would like for people to pray for our sons and daughters who are coming up in this generation full of hate and frustration and feel that there is no way out. Adults need to realize these children are pleading for help inside they just don't know who to go to about their problems because right now they are hurting spiritually which have a negative affect on them emotionally and physically and that hurts everyone around them.

i am asking for prayers for my niece, danielle parks,ph.d.  she was diagnosed w/ acute lymphocetic leukemia in nov.,2005 and started a very harsh road of chemo and radiation that very same day.and, while no leukemia is a "good thing to get", this particular leukemia is of a rather nasty sort. a brother was a perfect match for the bone marrow transplant(st. patrick's day,2006);the procedure was deemed a success by her very esteemed doctors at mcmasters, hamilton,ontario.   (my niece is an associate prof. of archaeology at brock university in st. catharine's ,ontario.)   and,she has been doing so well that she & her fiance set the date for this october!    however, in early january, my niece was -rather abruptly out of remission.   (for you medical people,she does not have the 'philadelphia chromsome'-for which there is now a treatment).   my niece did not attend a convent school;she grew up overseas because her father was an international journalist.   nonetheless, her "convent connections " are real enough:she visited ernestine smith,rscj, her great-aunt whenever she could;her grandmother(my mother-lawrence ave/1934);and, she spent a great deal of time w/ me during her semester breaks and summer breaks,once she started university in the usa.   my heart aches for my beloved niece;and i most humbly ask for your prayers for her,her fiance,her parents,her brothers-and for all us who care so deeply for her.thank you for listening;thank you for your prayers.-----connie parks   post sciptum:my apologies for the typing-and the typo re the date of transplant:it was 17 march,2005 ,obviously.

Please pray for Bea Brand who suffers from lung cancer and hopes to live long enough to see her son married in late April.
