Both the experience of having cancer and walking beside someone you love who has cancer is frightening. You can see the exhaustion etched into the faces as they try to hide their worry from each other...
We remember the service and humanity shown 23 years ago on this day when thousands of lives were lost and millions more changed forever. Prayers for the citizens of our wonderful country that we should never forget that together we are stronger.
Don't miss Car-nival this Saturday! Rosary Care Center and the Antique Automobile Club of America are co-hosting a car show to benefit the Walk to End Alzheimer's.

Love in Action
Both the experience of having cancer and walking beside someone you love who has cancer is frightening. You can see the exhaustion etched into the faces as they try to hide their worry from each other. Each one is experiencing what Benedict XVI called the “liturgy of life.”
