Health and Welfare
Rich Tufano
From Carmela Tufano:
Rich will need arthroectmy which means that the main artery in the back of the heart is 95% blocked. The doctors will try to drill through and put a Stent in. If it doesn't work, he will need bypass surgery. His kidney function is off and they have to get them in the right place and the pressure in his heart is very high and they need to get it within normal range. Please continue to pray for him and my family. He will probably be undergoing this within a couple of weeks.
Don Gabriel

Don is having an issue with some cancer. It is a reoccurring issue.

He is doing better but can definitely use some prayers.

Rev. Anthony Pizzo
Fr. Tony attended our Fashion Show, first one ever!

He had a tumor removed on his bladder on Tuesday and is home and doing fine.
Julie Leopold

Julie took a fall in her kitchen. She broke a hip and was taken to the hospital.

She had a pin put in, so less evasive. She is expected to be released this Thursday. We will all be glad to see her.
Andy Tegtmeier
