You are invited to participate. Whatever way that you pray or worship, you are welcomed to join and support this unique effort for the benefit of those affected by NP-C.
This site will display the ever-expanding journal of the spiritual pledges made for our Spiritual Convergence. We're focusing specifically on the month of October. That is the month that has officially been designated as Niemann Pick Disease Awareness Month.
Let us know how you would like to participate next year. We would like to capture all the various Acts of Love on this site. Below are just some of the Spiritual Contributions pledged. Help us show how the power of prayer and worship can help those of us affected by this dreaded disorder.
Thank you for your interest in our cause and your support.Here is a sampling of past years' pledges:
| My
family and I are members of St. Anastasia Parish. You have been in
our prayers. Prayer works wonders and can render miracles. God will
hear your prayers and answer them. You are reminding us all of the
Light and Love of God. Rest assured our household will unite our prayers
with you. Wishing you the best, --Mary B. |

| I
asked some of my clients to pray for Jessica this weekend. One of
them stated that not only would he pray for her but the Msgr. owed
him some favors. He would make sure that the All Souls Parish in Alhambra
prayed for her. We are praying for her not only this weekend but for
a long time. --Bill and Donna C. St. Anastasia Parish |
|
| We
heard of Jessica after Mass at the LMU Sacred Heart Chapel. Our hearts
and prayers go out to you and to all the children living with NP-C.
We said a novena of prayers, at our family supper table, asking our
merciful Lord for special help and divine hugs for each special child,
and their parents too. God bless. --Greg (class of '57) and Vicki |
|
| My
mom sent me a newspaper article and a flyer about Jessica and the
Spiritual Convergence. I will absolutely pray for Jessica, the other
children affected by NP-C and the families involved. --Tom D. Denver, CO |
|
| The
Spirit of Mary Prayer Group of Visitation Church, Westchester, is
praying for Jessica and her family. We meet on Thursdays each week,
and on July 18 we offered special prayers for her. Each member will
also remember her, her family, and those afflicted with NP-C at Mass.
God bless you all.. --Beverly R. |

| Thanks
for sending the Spiritual Convergence prayer and notice. I will be
sending my prayers (as I do all the time anyway) for Jessica and all
the other children and their families. I will also enlist the prayers
of my large group of teachers across the country, as I did last year.
--Fran Northern California |

| I'll
enlist Episcopalians and Catholics. --Jerry A. Knoxville, TN |

| I
am a student at Loyola Marymount, and heard about Jessica at mass.
I want you to know that I am praying for Jessica. I have added her
to my collection of intentions for which I say a Rosary every night.
I have also spread the message to my mother who is going to take your
intention to her prayer group tonight. I wish you the best. God Bless,
--JoAnne G. Class of 2005 |

We have sent
letters to all members of the Westchester Ministerial Council asking
for their support, and their congregations‚ participation.
We will include Jessica and the Spiritual Convergence in our prayers
and liturgies. |

| I
am going to reproduce your brochure and place it in our bulletin as
an insert. I know it will touch hearts, as it has touched mine. Additionally,
I attend a pastors conference here in the Antelope Valley from time
to time and intend to bring this to their attention early next week.
My family prays for the lovely Jessica. May the Lord cover you with
his peace and grant the wisdom necessary to isolate and eradicate
this terrible disease. -Tom C. Palmdale, CA |
|
| A
member of the congregation that I serve in Palm Desert, CA told me
that there is a special time of prayer that a number of Churches are
participating in throughout Southern California. We will especially
pray for all those impacted by this disease and those serving to find
a cure. I knew nothing about this illness. -Pastor Doug G. |
