Due to a medical procedure, the ability to have children was not guaranteed.
His mom prayed for a grandchild at the Chapel of the Holy Cross and they found out they were pregnant a month later! Now they have a one and a half year old and are expecting their second daughter in July! What a beautiful family!
Donna was in need of a new kidney. After having dialysis for three years and missing out on a new kidney ten times, she was feeling discouraged. Her husband booked a trip to Sedona from their home in Atlanta and they went to the Chapel of the Holy Cross on the first day. She was moved the moment they stepped into the Chapel. They were overjoyed to discover that there was a Mass that day. They stayed for Mass and lit a three day candle. They both silently prayed for a new kidney.
Twelve hours later, they got a call from her doctor. The hospital had a kidney which was a perfect match, but they had to make it back in 15 hours. While they were very anxious, Donna surrendered to God and felt immediate peace that God would take care of her. They made it to the hospital in Birmingham in 13 and a half hours! Not only did the surgery go smoothly, she felt no pain afterwards. Her kidney is working perfectly 10 months later. She said, "God plucked me out of the Chapel of the Holy Cross and saved me with a new kidney." It just so happens that the three day candle would have gone out the moment the surgery ended.
