Prayers Needed! Please remember Jeffery Peters in your prayers. Jeffery, son of Vicki Peters, a longtime volunteer at the Twice Loved Treasures Thrift Store in Hurricane, run by Saint Paul Mission, has a brain tumor and is in serious condition. Also, Miriam and Jean Bourque of Saint Paul Mission ask for prayers for their great granddaughter, Delilah Bryson. She will need surgery soon to correct a cranium problem and she now has a respiratory problem.

 

Read All About It! MariaFernanda Gomez, a junior at Juan Diego Catholic High School, had an article featured in the national edition of my.hsj.org. Her story was about the DREAM Act and how its defeat at the Senate impacts some of her fellow Soaring Eagle students. Being chosen for the national edition means her story was featured on the main site at my.hsj.org, which hosts thousands of student newspapers around the country. It was also featured on their Facebook page. The link is http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=36754998114 .
