A Personal Note from Barb
I'll be taking some time off from now till about February and I will miss you dearly. I've been diagnosed with breast cancer, which is very prevalent in my family. We are all very proactive about screenings so we think we've caught it in the earliest stages and I have great hope for a smooth recover after the bilateral mastectomy later this week.
I am feeling very blessed not only because it was found so early but because there are so many inspiring, generous people who have stepped forward to ensure that ministry to, with, by and for young people doesn't even miss a beat here at St Pius Tenth!
Sunday Youth Nites will go forward just as planned with the great team of adult leaders sharing the load of gathering, teaching young people and going forth into the community. Our already robust CYO Program is already on a roll and will go on without even a hiccup and you should even be able to continue to get this newsletter because of wonderful folks who have said YES.
Does it go without saying that I will be counting on your prayers and good wishes to help me through this challenge? If you'd like to keep up the ins and outs of my situation here's a website that my daughter, Rachael will be maintaining. with https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/barblegere
Please do pray for me as I will be praying for you too!
