PILGRIM VIRGIN HOME VISIT WITH JR. LEGION OF MARY
Mark Swanson hosted the Pilgrim Virgin visit for his daughter Trinity on her 15th birthday celebration. It is a blessing that Trinity for the past 3 years has chosen to celebrate her birthday by praying with her grandma Cedilia and friends at her home. Trinity is the secretary for the “Our Lady of Perpetual Help” Jr. Legion of Mary. Her fellow legionaries and their parents all attended this happy occasion which was led by Esper Radosta, who coordinates the “Pilgrim Virgin visits and Divine Mercy enthronements” for our parish.
Please contact – Esper @ 386-848-1787 to book a Pilgrim Virgin Visit

Fr. Jerome asks us to supply rosaries for Cuban Mission
O.L.P.H. Junior Legion of Mary was very busy with fulfilling Fr. Jerome’s request last week for 300 Rosaries for which Fr. Oscar Rojas CSSR will take to his Mission Church in Havana, Cuba. Our excellent team of legionaries worked hard and even took kits home to help reach our goal with limited time we had. We are very thankful to the Greer Family who saw Fr. Jerome’s email and surprised us with 75 of these last Wednesday to honor Delia Greer who is 96 yrs old and is a resident at Oceanview Nursing Home.
Also special thanks to Janice Mc Guire who miraculously had almost 200 rosary kits prepped and ready for us to make rosaries. Our Legion plans to restart the Legion of Mary in Cuba and sending them Tessera’s & handbooks in Spanish. Please contact me Geeta Hyjek – 428-6426 if you have family or friends in Cuba and interested in joining us for this Mission. With Fr. Tom’s busy schedule he made time to join us yesterday for a Junior Curia meeting for the Legion of Mary here @ Sacred Heart where he asked us to pray for the William’s family in S.C. He blessed the Rosaries going to Cuba via Fr. Jerome and shared with us, that he had spoken with Fr. Jerome and was happy we could participate with this Mission with short notice.
