Moms Ministry Baby Counter
Most Recent Baby  Baby Allison’s mom came to PDL unknowing she was pregnant on Tuesday, May 25th. We immediately saw the baby was quite big after the ultrasound that day. Four days later, Saturday, May 29th at 2 a.m. she was born at only 29 weeks. She was 3 lbs and 2 ozs. She is pictured here in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Baby Allison is doing remarkably well and is expected to go home very soon. We thank the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (CFRs Father Joseph Mary and Brother Gerard) for praying and blessing mom and baby. |

Mom’s Ministry Christmas Party
Two days before Christmas, our Mom’s Ministry held a Christmas Party for 27 of our Mom’s and their children (50 total). The evening was filled with love, joy, food, carols and presents. A number of moms wanted to take the gifts home so the children would have a present to open on Christmas morning. All the gifts were provided by two Gabriel Parishes (San Clemente and St. Jude’s), with the help of Gabriel coordinators at The Shrine of St. Bernadette’s and Incarnation and a number of PDL supporters chipping in to make sure all had a gift. Thanks to all who helped make the true meaning of Christmas come alive to our Moms in need; especially Bobbi Cuddihy who organized the party.

Baby Angel was born June 12, 2009; 9 weeks early. He weighed 4.16 lbs. 10 days after his birth he took a turn for the worse. Father Stephen was called and asked to baptise baby Angel. After the baptism, Angel started doing remarkably well, and is now a healthy baby boy.
