I live in a prison building with over
100 women. Your literature has been
shared among us all and is very much
appreciated. Your uplifting words make
a big difference in our spirits. My family
is not doing well or is estranged, and
so your leaflets and letters are a true
blessing. Our unit of ladies here has
really become more peaceful and calm
since passing around your printed
material. We are truly blessed and are
taking action to be more charitable
and kind. We are trying to practice
the virtues that please God.

I would like to thank our heavenly
Father for putting you in my life. With
your help, God has opened my heart
and my eyes. I am going through some
cancer tests and I am told I have six
months to live. I know that I must
keep my eyes and heart on the One
Who gives us life. < Janie - TX >
Here is my donation in thanksgiving
to the Santo Niño de Atocha. He has
answered three petitions I have made
to Him! < Mary - AZ >
My husband has a hard time doing
anything, but he loves stringing the
Miraculous Medals. He is a recent
convert, thanks to Our Lady of the
Miraculous Medal! < Angie >
I am a Voluntary Religious Coordinator
of the Idaho Correctional Institute. We
are a facility of over 500 inmates and
our chapel service attendance is high.
Unfortunately, our resources are very
limited. We are in dire need of Rosaries
and Catholic reading materials. Any
material you can donate will be greatly
appreciated! Again, our facility is small.
However, the Holy Spirit is moving us
and they would enjoy any materials that
will strengthen them in their walk to
Christ. < Russel Ballew, Orofino - ID >
Fr. Joseph Mung of Myanmar, Asia, visited our office on July 9. Father has been a
leader of the Living Rosary in his country for many years. He is very devoted to
St. Philomena and has served in the seminary and outstations. The people are
simple and poor. Father is always so grateful for the Sacramentals we send and
for the printed materials in Tedim dialect. His people are dependent upon the
rainfall for their crops to grow and for electricity. No rain, no electricity! It is a
great challenge for Father to teach a people who believe in astrology, divination
and palm readers. Many of their life decisions are based on superstitions. Father
is 64 and suffers with diabetes. The seminary chapel burned to the ground three
months ago. Father’s life was spared; he had a statue of St. Philomena in his
room next to the burning building. Please keep Father in your good prayers.
