Thank you to all those who participated in our Family Healing and Recovery Ministry Fundraiser! You helped raise $400.00 for our media outreach which has helped defray the cost of the website design and additional mailer outreach of "Rosary4recovery.org" postcards. Every dollar helps bring awareness and support to other families in need of support and healing.

Reflection on the Jim Browne retreat weekend of November 2-4, 2018 As I reflect on the retreat, I can’t help but feel mixed feelings of happiness and sadness (that it is over). The weeks and days leading up to the retreat had its share of challenges for those of us directly involved in its plans and preparations. I always look at these difficulties as an indicator of many blessings to come. God is never outdone in generosity and we were alerted a few days after the retreat ended that one of our participants, Linda, who was diagnosed with stage 4 (metastatic) pancreatic cancer has had a healing. Her recent MRI report is “unexplainably” clean and her doctors are baffled! We thank God for this incredible outpouring of blessings and grace and we will keep you updated as we get more information. As a community, please join me in continued prayers for Linda and her family and for all of our and our families’ needs. We trust in Jesus Christ, the Divine Physician, who takes care of all of our needs. We will see many more blessings by surrendering to His will and “to have the faith of a mustard seed” trusting in Divine Providence. Between the three days, we had an average of 85 people in attendance. The retreat was lively with many laughs along with a few tears. We prayed together and shared our journeys with each other and I witnessed old friendships rekindle and new friendships blossom. The Spirit of God was ever present as we experienced profound physical, emotional and spiritual healings. Thank you Jesus! You called us together to worship as a community and filled us with peace and joy, beyond understanding which only comes from You. There were many gifted people who helped make the retreat a success. Behind the scenes were several people who donated their time, talent and finances to insure that others could enjoy a grace filled weekend. Your generosity was appreciated and was crucial in making this a blessed event. We enjoyed Jim Browne with his endearing Irish wit and special healing gifts of the Spirit. He kept us laughing and on the edge of our seats with his stories of healing and recovery. He has an uncanny ability to recognize the wounds in others and calls them out for healing through God’s will. Jim is the first to say that all healing comes from Jesus and he (Jim) is only an instrument in God’s hands. He encourages all to shout out thanks to God even those who are quiet and introverted by nature were shouting praise during this retreat. Jim has a generous spirit and happily gave everyone a blessed Medjugorje Christmas Day Crucifix. There have been many reports of healings from those who have been presented with these special crucifixes. Thank you for your holy priesthood, Fr. Mike Hobson and Fr. Kwang Lee. You tirelessly offered your precious time to hear confessions and to bless our group as well as individuals throughout the retreat weekend. It was truly a weekend filled with many blessings by your beautiful offerings of Holy Mass, Eucharistic Healing Services and prayers. We are truly blessed by your priestly service. Jim Browne (www.mirhousekilladoon.com )will return in the Fall 2019 for another retreat – Save the date for September 27-29, 2019.
