Fr John Craddock is enduring the European freeze while concentrating on polishing his French in La Neylière which was the place where Fr Jean-Claude Colin lived in his retirement.

Do you know that we operate a prayer network for expectant mothers placing them under the protection of Mary, Mother of Good Hope?

You can send us the names & address of the parents to be by email: intouch@marianmothers.org

Include your own name and/or any special message so that we can advise the recipient who made the request.

We will send a prayer card to the parents and enter their names in a register that is kept in the chapel here. They are prayed for by many Marist priests, religious, and lay people.
