From the bottom of my heart, I thank
you! My foot became so swollen and
painful that I could not walk. Then,
my toes began to turn black. All my
missionary efforts came to a standstill.
Thank you for helping out with
funds to get to the clinic and hospital.
For the first time in 6 weeks of pain and
suffering, I was able to wear my shoes. It
is a great miracle. We thank everyone for
their prayers. < Sem. James - PNG >
In Dec. 2016, our daughter was diagnosed
with cancer in the lining of her stomach.
She had 4 major surgeries and 3 sessions
of chemo. By Sept. 2020, the cancer had
spread throughout her stomach and
blocked her bowels. Again, she was taken
for surgery and the surgeon found her
stomach to be very hard and they made
a couple of incisions to expose. They
decided not to operate as the surgery
would probably kill her. She was brought
home and her family looked after her.
After a few days of a liquid diet, her
bowels suddenly opened. On Dec. 7, she
had a cat-scan. The medical team was
shocked as they did not know how to
explain this unusual happening. She
resumed soft foods, gained strength and
started working two hours a day at
Our Lady of Carmel Primary School.
Throughout, we have prayed to Saint
Philomena and the Blessed Virgin. Please
continue to pray for her complete
healing. God bless you all.

Greetings from Mbarara, Uganda! I
want to testify about St. Philomena. My
pregnancy became threatened by many
miscarriage attempts to the extent that
the doctors had given up and suggested
to let the fetus go. Immediately, I went
to my friend and told her the problem
and she helped me reach Sr. Jacintha.
Sister gave me the St. Philomena oil
and prayed with me. I went back to the
hospital for a review; what a miraculous
morning. The baby was OK and nothing
was wrong. They asked what medicine I
was using and I told them it was prayer
and St. Philomena! Since then, my
pregnancy was normal and I gave birth
to a beautiful baby girl, Mary Therese.
She is healthy and the victory belongs
to St. Philomena. < Sr. Jacintha

An offering is enclosed in thanksgiving
to dear St. Philomena for an important
answer to our prayers for my daughter
who had to take a test to keep her job.
She had flunked the test two times and
her job depended on this. Finally, she
passed the test with a 96! St. Philomena
is so very powerful! < USA >
We have a wonderful devotee whose
daughter was diagnosed with incurable
bowel cancer. They were to operate just
before Christmas but on further investigation,
they simply sent her home,
“To live what was left of her life”
surrounded by her husband and four
young children. St. Philomena had other
ideas. Her mom has been anointing her
continuously with the holy oil and her
daughter not only continued to live, but
much to the surprise of the doctors, at
her visit two weeks ago, did a scan
and all the tumors had turned to be
MUCOUS - no cancer was found!
Praise the Lord and His wonderful
Little Saint! < Beth - AUSTRALIA >
My family and I had an incredible
Thanksgiving miracle! The day after
Thanksgiving, my oldest son, Michael,
came to see all of us and to be reconciled,
and ask all of us to forgive him
for his six years of absence from our
lives. He cried like a baby. It was a gift
from Heaven! Our prodigal son and
brother returned to us! It had been
over 15 years since his last confession.
