Lisa and Family, I'm sorry to learn of the passing of your Mom. Knowing here for years from the Oblates and St. Pats, she was extremely devoted to the Blessed Mother and Jesus, and there's no doubt that she's giving them a great big hug right now just as she did with her fellow communicants. God Bless. Jon,
