Brother to Brother

I find this a little difficult because I am not used to asking for help for myself. A few weeks ago I was diagnosed with cancer. Yeah, it still kinda makes me step back too. It’s in my prostate and it was a blessing that it was found cause nobody was looking for it; some might call it a fluke; I know better. Beth and I have done our homework and are confident that the best course of action for me is to have the prostate removed surgically. Robitically no less. Welcome to 2008.

We have confidence in my doctors and surgeon and, of course, know that Jesus will be with us as always. The surgery will be on Aug 4. I would very much appreciate any and all prayers for me, my wife, and my doctors. I am very much looking forward to getting this behind me and start the healing process.

Thanks Bro. God Bless.

Could you send an email or broadcast at your website to all the Knights of Columbus to pray for Bishop Flanagan’s brother, Mr. John Flanagan, who is ill in Ireland? Bishop Flanagan called today to inform us. Thank you and God’s blessings.

Greetings Brothers All,

It pains me to inform you the passing of Mr. Velasquez, Father to our Priest from Holy Spirit.
I was contacted this morning by Liz Garcia; sister to our Priest. Mr. Velasquez had a peaceful journey home to meet our Lord Jesus Christ.

I ask all to please keep the family Velasquez in your prayers and also to help Father Velasquez in his time of need and to stand strong with him.

The services for Mr. Velasquez should be coming out in Sundays paper. I will keep all posted as soon as information is received.

Please pray for my 40 year old daughter, Laura Bradley, that has for sixteen years successfully (until now) been fighting a battle with M.S. On her birthday June 10th, she had an “episode” that left her right side paralyzed and unable to walk. She has been undergoing steroid injections and rehab therapy and is now able to walk with a cane or walker. She lost her job at HEB due to being 100% disabled which has created a financial hardship on her family. The doctors say that if she has another episode she will probably be confined to a wheelchair the rest of her life. Please seek the intercession of Fr. McGivney that she can at least live a somewhat normal life. Thank you.
