Ave Maria!

I am writing to you to inform you that our apostolate here in our Iligan City is slowly by slowly growing and we are trying to spread the devotion to our dear Saint as well among the youth and the elderly. It’s been 3 years ago that here in Iligan City and Cagayan de Oro City experienced a strong typhoon which cost lives-even thousand are missing until now and properties are damaged cause by TYPHOON SENDONG last December 17,2011. My brother is helping us too in inviting priest to conduct Traditional Masses here. We have already sent to you many enrollees here.

All of us here have given the sacramentals and books for free. We have given already 17,256 rosaries, 50 Holy Oils and Chords, 1678 books to different religious congregations, 12,890 leaflets and booklets, 9,890 brown scapular, and 16,908 miraculous medals in 3 Dioceses and 24 parishes here in Mindanao for free for the past 3 years-thanks for your great help Mama Patty and your benefactors there. We conduct catechism classes with the help of my brother; serve parishes as choir, inviting people to attend Sunday Masses and Liturgical Celebrations in our Parishes. Marian Devotions are flourishing here and we conducted Block Rosaries and encourage parishioners to pray Daily Rosary and to have devotion to the sacred heart of Jesus.

I am appealing for your generosity, if you can, to send us more scapulars, miraculous medals, holy oils and cords of Saint Philomena. Many of our seminarians also are asking some books and booklets for their futures studies to be used in the seminaries. We are planning to have a center of ULRA here in Southern Philippines to help our Traditional priest and laity here. We are much eager to evangelize more by the help of Our Dear Saint Philomena.

I have attached of our pictures of our reach out activities and our apostolate here.

May God bless you Mama Patty and Our Dear Saint pray for you always.

Here are some pictures of Divine Mercy Catholic Church Sargodha which has been rebuilt by Fr. Leonard Stigger. I had promised a picture of Holy Family for the Church from Living Rosary. I could not reach on the blessing ceremony so I took picture there on 1st of June. The Church has very nice building and also the inner is very beautiful. After Mass we handed over the picture to Fr. Stigger and then we gave Rosaries, DD cards, pictures and other devotional items from Living Rosary. Fr. Stigger and parishners were thankful to the Living Rosary for the picture and everything we gave them.

The pictures I sent you were taken at Daska. A new church has been built there and they needed pictures of 14 stations. So, I provided them framed pictures with mark of ULRA on each picture. There are some more pictures but in other camera. I will try to get those pictures also.

Greetings Patti and the Universal Living Rosary Association,

My name is Shelly and I am a member of your blest association (have been for 18 years when I took over my dear mother's decade and membership ~ Jerry) I always enjoy and am blessed by the articles and testimonies in every issue of Dedicated Decades. I am also the coordinator of our Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Program at St. Mary Magdalen Parish in Media, Pennsylvania. As such, I am constantly on the lookout for uplifting and life-changing information to pass on to our Adorers. I keep most of your issues for a long time and often reread different pieces as the Holy Spirit always imparts new meaning with each reading. I would like your permission to reprint Page 29 and 30 TO KNOW HIM MORE INTIMATELY, TO TRUST HIM MORE COMPLETELY, TO LOVE HIM MORE DEEPLY in the winter 2012 Issue. Actually, I believe it should be a Homily and would love for our Pastor to deliver it at a Sunday Mass. I guarantee it would be a HIT! For now, I would just like to pass it on to our Adorers. Will that be alright with you? I do not know who wrote it (because in your humility through all the issues, no credits are ever given) but he or she displays an astute communion with Our Eucharistic Lord and I find it magnificent.

Keep up the Lord's work. You are a glowing beacon in the darkness of this world and I am certain Our Eucharistic Lord, Our Lady and St. Philomena are so pleased. May your crown be so glorious in Heaven as to weigh down a King here on earth!

God bless,
Shelly

Dearest Patti,

Warmest greetings from St. Philomena’s House at St. Peter’s Cathedral Basilica, Roman Hill, Kumasi-Ghana!

Today, May 13, we travelled to Christ the King Church Grotto at Ahensan in Kumasi Archdiocese where Our Lady’s statue was taken in procession. The Archbishop, Most Rev. Justice Gabriel Anokye and the two Emeritus Archbishops, Peter K. Sarpong and Thomas K. Mensah offered the Holy Mass in honor of Our Lady of Fatima. Immediately after the Mass, we had the opportunity to get in touch with part of the congregation to preach to them about the ULRA. As we are in Our Lady’s month and today is very special for Our Lady of Fatima, we distributed some devotional items to all those who were gathered in honor of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Saint Philomena. Please find attached photos of our activities at Christ the King Church.

Thank you very much! May the Lord richly bless you all! Pax te cum, Patti!

Dear Mother Patti,

Greetings from everyone.

In our Parish, St. Joseph's Anglophone Parish, Solemnity of the celebration of Corpus Christi, was marked with about 132 candidates had baptism and many others received their Fist Holy Communion today. They were delighted to be enrolled into the Universal Living Rosary Association of St. Philomena (ULRA). As you can see, just before Corpus Christi procession began, the Parish Priest, REv.Fr. Anddré along with 2 other Priests, (a Mgr) 1 Deacon and 1 Rev. brother, each candidate received his/her Rosary, Miraculous Medal, Rosary leaflet, due time, their enrollment cards were shared later. You can see them with their white dresses, showing their innocence.

The other children with blue dresses are members of Cadets of Mary Immaculate. One of their duties is to recite daily a decade of the Rosary. Some were enrolled into the ULRA and many enrolled their parents as well.

Some confirmed that it is easy for them to pray just a decade each day with other members than praying four Mysteries daily. Alone.

I hope to send other completed lists soon

Ave Marai!
