I hope my Mass requests are
not too late. The image of
Our Lady of Ostra Brama in
the Winter-2014 newsletter
helped me develop a deep
devotion to Our Lady. When
I saw this image, I was so
much affected and my love
for Our Blessed Mother has
increased one hundred fold!
I don’t know how you find
these images but I have kept
this one and made copies of
it for others. Thank you for
all you do for heaven and so many
people. < Judith – USA >
I received the beautiful Gregorian
Mass card for my mom and dad. The
Masses began on February 9th and
ended on March 10th, which happens
to be their anniversary! I was so happy
to see that. Your materials are all so
beautiful that they are like gifts from
Heaven! We are so thankful for the
priests from Ukraine who offer our
Masses. May God bless you abundantly!

Thank you for the Masses and prayers
you offered for my mother. Mom was
very accepting of God’s Will for her
throughout her illness. While nausea
was constant, she only had two days of
pain. Even when the weakness confined
her to bed, she continued praying her
Rosary, ten a day! St. Philomena’s cord
was ever with her. She went down
quickly and, at the end, all her children
were with her, with comforting touches
and encouragement to let herself go
to be with her Loving Savior. God
bless you all! < Germaine – USA >
We are attempting to use every
opportunity possible to make the Living
Rosary known. Thousands of people
attend the Oyster Festival each year
and we will have a stand there with all
your materials. At a “Welcoming Tea”
to the new women in other parishes, I
gave an introductory talk on
Ven. Pauline Jaricot and told
about the Living Rosary and
we gave out packets. I try to
make these tiny efforts to
serve God and plant seeds
of devotion. < Eva – USA >
I was so happy to receive
your recent shipment and
thank you for the Rosaries,
Scapulars and Miraculous
Medals. I had 9 people after
the noon Mass on 9/21/17,
get invested in the Scapular;
the next day, I had 15 people. I impress
upon the Catholics to pray their
Rosary every day and consecrate
themselves to Our Lady. For now, they
can wear their Scapular with pride!

I have been married for 13 years and
could not get pregnant. I underwent
treatments and two surgeries. 12 years
of disappointments every month. My
doctor said that it would be impossible
for me to conceive. A friend gave me a
holy card of St. Philomena and I started
a Novena to her at once, put on her cord
and began using her holy oil. I went
to the doctor for a
follow up. To my
great joy, I found out
that I was one month
pregnant. My baby was
born on my birthday:
a beautiful blue-eyed
blond haired boy,
perfectly healthy.

Thank you for sharing with me just
what is gained through our daily Decade
in the Living Rosary. I just did not realize
the scope of what I was participating in
and was focused on what others would
lose if I failed to pray my Decade. I want
to try again and do as you suggested
and offer my DECADE in the morning
to help me through the day with the
virtues necessary to perform my duties
