Damian’s surgery and treatment for the bone cancer in his leg have been successful. He is now in remission and cancer free!

“It was a wonderful evening,” says Rev. Msgr. Ronald G. Yargeau, episcopal vicar of the Franklin and Hampshire deaneries. “We were received with great kindness and graciousness, and we were able to interact a bit with the students and join them for the Rosary. I think we were all duly impressed.”
