Dear friends,

As many of you already know, Brenda Lucas is right now fighting for her life in the hospital. We all feel helpless in situations like this but we believe that the best thing we can do is to unite in prayer for Brenda, for her family and for all who know and care about Brenda.

I would invite everyone who can to come to mass today at 5:30 pm at Saint Agnes Church and stay for a Rosary immediately after mass. The Rosary should start around 6 pm (in case you can’t come for the mass). PLEASE SHARE THIS PRAYER INVITATION with all your friends and feel free to post it in your social media. Hope to see you there.
