“The ACCW Appalachia Christmas and Shoe Box Mission Semi was a great success again this year. My heartfelt thanks and prayers and a big thank you from the families and workers in Appalachia. They are so in need of our gifts and feel so blessed with our generosity from Minnesota. God bless all of you this Christmas and know that you helped serve God’s poorest of the poor in our country. May the blessings of our Christ Child be with you always.”

Prayer to St. Jude for a Special Request
O most holy apostle, St Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, and of things almost des-paired of. Pray for me, who am so miserable.
Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege ac-corded to you, to bring visible and speedy help where help was almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolation and aid of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particu-larly (here make your request) and that I may praise God with you and all the elect throughout eternity.
I promise you, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my loyal friend and patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you. Amen."
