Dear Friends,
A family from my church is presently in China, and the couple's 3 month old baby is suffering from something which is making it so his blood won't clot. The hospital they are at in China is international and is the best there, and the child is getting very good care, but the doctor has called the condition "life threatening." The baby and his father were received into the Church on Bright Saturday of this year, so he (the father) and I were catechumens together. The whole parish has been asked to pray for them...the baby's name is Elias, please keep Elias, David and Emilita in your prayers.
In Christ,
Donna Mary
