23 June 2008: My sister Mary has been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. It may have spread to her liver. She will be undergoing major surgery tomorrow. I have prayed in the cause of Fr. Vincent for his advancement to Sainthood.

I am a former President of the Richmond Division Holy Name Society on Staten Island. Fr. Mode was a speaker at our Annual Communion Breakfast several year. I have read the Grunt Padre two times. I am sure he will be a Saint someday in the near future.
