If you missed the pilgrimage this past weekend, please take the time to read about Denise Bossert and her life story. Her faith and knowledge of Mary, our Mother and her journey with motherhood is truly inspiring. The picture above is Mary and her cousin Elizabeth, both women pregnant by the grace of God. The emotions for them had to be all over the place, from joyful to anxious. In this picture, there is pure joy, hopefully something all mothers feel at one time during their pregnancy. The Mothers Shrine is a place for everyone, especially mothers. Come visit the Shrine at 176 Marian Drive in Laurie, MO—and I promise you will walk away with a new joy in your soul. A special thank you to all those volunteers that made the pilgrimage so special: Lori and Marty Oberndorfer, Jean Deters, Linda Durben, Nancy Baily, Alvina Allis, Ceil Bish, John and Paula Reddersen, and Kathy Outlaw. Also, Fr. Schmitz, Fr. Vacca, Dr. Gregory and our special guest, Denise Bossert.

God bless, Kim Metz
