WITNESSES FOR LIFE: LIFE CHAIN<br />
You are invited to take a public stand and be a witness for<br />
life as part of the Life Chain on Sunday October 28 th . Join<br />
other <strong>Ascension</strong> Parishioners as we again gather for one<br />
hour from 2:30 to 3:30 as part of this National Prayerful<br />

equal size. We will again be responsible for the chain on the<br />

NEW SAINTS –<br />
TWO WOMEN TO LEARN MORE ABOUT.<br />
Saint Marianne Cope, O.S.F., also known as<br />
the Blessed Marianne of Molokai, (23 January<br />
1838 – 9 August 1918) was a Roman <strong>Catholic</strong><br />
Religious Sister and a member of the Sisters of<br />
Saint Francis of Syracuse, New York ( an off-shoot of Sister<br />
Celeste’s community). Known for her charitable works and<br />
virtuous deeds, she spent many years caring for the lepers on<br />
the island of Molokai, Hawaii. Despite direct contact with<br />
the patients over many years, Cope was not afflicted by the<br />
disease, considered by some faithful to be miraculous. In<br />
2005, she was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI. On February<br />
18, 2012, Pope Benedict XVI officially announced at Saint<br />
Peter's Basilica that Cope will be canonized on October 21,<br />
2012. – (taken from Wikipedia)<br />
Kateri Tekakwitha (pronounced [ˈgaderi degaˈgwita] in<br />
Mohawk), baptized as Catherine Tekakwitha and<br />
informally known as Lily of the Mohawks (1656 – April<br />
17, 1680), was an Algonquin-Mohawk <strong>Catholic</strong> virgin and<br />
religious laywoman. Born in present-day New York, she<br />
survived smallpox and was orphaned as a child, then<br />
baptized as a Roman <strong>Catholic</strong> and settled for the last years<br />
of her life at the Jesuit mission village of Kahnawake, south<br />
of Montreal in New France.<br />
Tekakwitha professed a vow of virginity until her death at<br />
the age of 24. Known for her virtue of chastity and corporal<br />
mortification of the flesh, as well as being shunned by her<br />
tribe for her religious conversion to <strong>Catholic</strong>ism, she is the<br />
first Native American woman to be venerated in the Roman<br />
<strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Church</strong>. She was beatified by Blessed Pope John<br />
Paul II in 1980. On February 18, 2012, Pope Benedict XVI<br />
announced at Saint Peter's Basilica that Tekakwitha is<br />
scheduled to be formally canonized on October 21, 2012.<br />
Various miracles and supernatural events are attributed to<br />
her name after her death. – (taken from Wikipedia)<br />
I have enjoyed the coverage of Mother Marianne by the<br />
local Hawaiian TV Station. It can be a good use of your<br />
internet time.<br />

OF THE SICK<br />
