Received from Julia regarding her husband Dcn Chris on March 2nd, 2025. I believe God’s greatest gift to Chris is that he is truly a person of peace and joy. I know Chris to be a suffering soul who is in constant pain however he suffers with joy and love while always praising Our Lord.
​
Chris has had at least 22 surgeries and has endured so much pain but has unwavering positivity. On the last Healing Mass before the Masses broke for summer Chris was healed for 155 days. The Lord using Father Francis Donnelly allowed Chris to have no distention instead only a small amount of discomfort when he ate. He was able to do so much more. This blessing was a reprieve from so much pain. Pain that affects the quality of his life.
​
We had been to a doctor to see if the many hernias had disappeared. They were huge before, one the size of a large grapefruit and always rock hard. Unfortunately, the pain returned with a vengeance and the doctor informed us that they were still there, but their position had changed which was why they weren’t visible for so long.
​
Again, Chris was in so much pain and could do very little especially when he ate. Going to serve at Church was hard but the Eucharist was his comfort, and Jesus was always with him on the altar. Another surgery in December did next to nothing. In January a visiting Priest Father Albert came to celebrate the next healing Mass. God used him also as a healing instrument for Chris. For 8 days Chris had no pain. After which, the pain returned, and he continued to struggle while also continuing to be filled with an overwhelming love for everything and everyone.
Again, Father Francis returned to celebrate a healing Mass on Feb 7th, 2025. For Chris this healing felt different. His joy overspilled, he danced and showed off his flat belly to his family. Look! Look what the Lord has done!!! This healing has been different, Chris is off all pain medication. 21 days now of no distention and additionally no pain after eating. He is able to do so much more. He is able to play with his grandchildren, to feel accomplished doing household chores and to enjoy his day without spending so much of his time in bed. Chris has an ileostomy and has very little bowel left. A huge hernia was attached to the ileostomy. His right side had several hernias that were huge and hard like rocks. The hardness of his stomach has disappeared along with the distention and the pain. His faith has made him well. He talks to Jesus and truly believes if you give yourself over to Jesus that your life will change.
​
Chris’s joy and praise remains always and forever.

Thank you
God Bless
Received from Dave February 24, 2025. My wife and I received from prayers at a healing service at the Epiphany Catholic Church in Port Orange Florida. I was prayed over in proxy for my wife’s sore back and for myself for my sore right shoulder. Although not healed of the underlying deterioration, the pain has been much reduced since those prayers.
Received from Greg February 18, 2025. I thank our great God for healings of my left ankle and left knee that I received at the Healing Mass/Service performed by Fr. Francis Donnelly on February 7, 2025 at St. Augustine's church. So very much appreciated.
