I am writing with an urgent prayer request for a dear member of our parish, Noreen Beardmore, who is in need of a miracle and strength. Noreen is a selfless, holy woman who has spent her time on earth serving mothers and families. She herself is the mother of 11 children, all of which are not yet raised, and several additional children who went directly to their heavenly home.
Two weeks ago Noreen doubled over with pain and was rushed to the hospital. She was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer. The doctors removed a 15 inch tumor. The latest pathology report found that the cancer has spread to at least three other organs and possibly a fourth. This has all come as a very big shock, as Noreen appeared to be in perfect health.
The doctors are not hopeful, but our Catholic community has faith in the mercy of God. We are all praying that our dear Lord will grant Noreen complete healing and many more years on this earth.
In this age of disrespect for mothers and the family, Noreen has always been a true beacon of light for struggling mothers and families, spreading good cheer and hope to all.
Please join us in praying for Noreen and all who love her, as they struggle to carry this very difficult cross
Thank you for your support.
