Almost a year has passed

It has been almost a year since Loreto Cottage was begun, and we still have not come to the end of the novenas originally planned. Praying for and with all of you this past year has been a real gift.

At long last, here are the novenas for the last wave of that original group of mothers. These dear women have been waiting almost a year, but we trust in God's perfect timing:

We would like to have a novena for our family.
The Tucker and extended family. Please pray for healing of cancer for Bill,
for conversion and continuing conversions of our families, marriages, raising Godly children for Gabrielle's developmental delays. For our health and our safety.

Dear Alice, I was on your original list, but I don't remember having a Novena said for our family. Let me know if I am mistaken. And thanks you so much again for doing this!

[Alice Gunther]

Louise, I just checked, and it seems that I mixed up Louise and "Leonie"--two L names!

I scheduled Leonie for the St. Francis of Assisi Novena. The funny thing is that when Leonie came up for the Lourdes Novena above, I said, "Didn't we just say one for her family?" Then I figured I must be mistaken!

If it is alright with the two of you, I am going to edit the post above and put you down for the Novena to Our Lady of Lourdes.

Sorry about that!

Alice, could you add a dear family of ours to the Novena calendar. She's materdei7 and signs her name Kathleen at 4Real. She and her beautiful family are very special, they are not bloggers. They have five children 4 girls and 1 boy. I know this will be so much appreciated. Thank you so much for doing this!

[Caroline]

Hi Alice, could you add my family to next year's list? Thanks so much.

[Kristen Laurence]

I love that you organized this. It's beautiful.

[Alicia]

I have loved the novenas through Loreto Cottage. Please include our family in these beautiful prayers!

[Jess]

Alice, I would love to be added to your list of novenas. I used to blog but no longer do. Your novena reminder service is wonderful! Thanks so much!

[Louise]

Thank you Alice!

[Elizabeth H]

God bless you for this beautiful service, Alice! I am so thrilled to be included in the novena to St Bernadette. Thank you from my heart.
