YOUR URGENT PRAYER REQUESTS UPDATE: 13 Jan 22

I am so grateful to my monthly and ad hoc donors. Thank you. I regularly, almost every day right now, say Mass for the intention of benefactors and those who send items from my wishlist (which has been a little quiet). Thanks also to the recent “live stream” donor: I bought flowers for the altar.

And
