Mary's Address and Phone #

Mary's Birthday is coming up on Thursday and if you want you can send her a little birthday love! We LOVE getting snail mail, and I'm sure the sisters love it even MORE because of their limited contact with their family.

Anyways, if you would like to write or call her on her birthday here is the info:

Hermana Mary Rose Gallaher
Bario San Julian 30
39479 Zurita De Pielagos
Cantabria (Espana)

We are allowed to call her on her birthday and that number is:

(+34) 942-571-536

The postage for a first class international stamp is 94 cents so we just put three stamps on ours. She may not be able to write us all back - but at least we can let her know we love her and she is in our prayers!

St. Rose of Lime, Pray for Us!

If you can't send a letter make sure say a short prayer to her patron saint instead! I just read a little bit about St. Rose of Lima's life. Incredible!

Here are some of her words. They are encouraging for me because life hasn't been the easiest lately!



"Our Lord and Savior lifted up his voice and said with incomparable majesty: “Let all men know that grace comes after tribulation. Let them know that without the burden of afflictions it is impossible to reach the height of grace. Let them know that the gifts of grace increase as the struggles increase. Let men take care not to stray and be deceived. This is the only true stairway to paradise, and without the cross they can find no road to climb to heaven”.
