 Heal Me Lord!
Sunday, April 15 at 1 p.m.
and repeated at 4 p.m. CANCER; the word carries heavy meaning and emotion, touches most of us by personal experience and/or by how the disease effects the life of a family member or friend. Cancer and St. Peregrine fit together. St. Peregrine promises hope. The staff at the Shrine prays for and with those who have cancer. The gift shop has medals, prayer cards, stories and rosary chaplets of St. Peregrine. We sometimes pray with the first class relic of St. Peregrine. The relic of St. Peregrine will be available to hold and to touch. All who have cancer and all those concerned for someone with cancer are welcome to attend. The prayer is expected to last an hour or slightly longer. No reservation is needed. Cookies, punch and conversation will be available afterward.
