Still Needing Prayers!
Needing prayers! Courtney, pictured to the left with her mother, was in a bad automobile accident Friday night, November 18, 2011. (Yes, it has been that long. Don't give up on your prayers!) We pray the Rosary after the 10:30 Sunday Mass and the Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet after the Sunday 6:00 pm Mass and offer these prayers for her and others in similar positions, especially those with no one of faith in their family. If you cannot join us, please remember her in your daily family Rosary (which should be led by the spiritual head of the household, fathers!)
Courtney sings in our children's choir and at the 6pm Sunday evening Mass.
Courtney has moved to Alabama. They found it too difficult to drive the hour into Tampa and back every day for rehab. Please continue to pray for her. She will be within walking distance (Courtney is in a wheelchair, so her mom will be doing the walking for now!) of a church so daily Mass is looking like a possibility once again.
