From N.H. to L.A.: Warm reunion after five decades of prayer
Tuesday, 09 August 2011 12:04
Anita Theresa Lafond was 10 years old when a Holy Cross nun at her grammar school in New Hampshire asked her to pray — in memory of Anita’s father, who had just died from pancreatic cancer — for a group of seven recently ordained Oblates of Mary Immaculate priests.Fifty-one years later, Lafond was “pleasantly surprised” to see in a Tidings’ story (May 5, 2011) where her “prayers had taken” one of the missionaries listed on the card that she has kept throughout the years (it now rests on a “prayer altar” next to her bed).

Patrick Cantlay’s PGA summer of fun
Friday, 05 August 2011 08:49
At 19, Patrick Cantlay has had quite a summer. In June, the soon-to-be-a-sophomore at UCLA from Los Alamitos played in his first professional golf tournament, which just happened to be the U.S. Open. He not only made the cut into the final two rounds of the storied venue, but was the low amateur with an even-par 284 at the challenging Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland. The teenager’s scorecard (75-67-70-72, tied for 21st) was the best by a non-professional in four decades.
