Our Guest Speaker: Lillian Rambacher
Lillian, who resides in Canton, is a wife, mother of four, and grandmother of five. She and her husband, John, have been parishioners of North Canton St. Paul’s Church for 36 years and their children attended elementary school at St. Paul’s.
Her vocation as a Mercy Hospital cardiac nurse for nearly 40 years also became her ministry. Six years ago, she and her husband experienced a miraculous, lifesaving healing of their daughter and first grandchild. They were changed forever and so were the lives of many others. The night before
their daughter, Leah, was induced to deliver her child, Lillian gave her a rosary that became a lifeline to our Mother Mary.
Lillian is now ready to share how God and our Blessed Mother Mary mercifully interceded for Leah and her son, Jackson. At her most desperate, broken point, Lillian promised God and our Blessed Mother that she would bring Him followers one person at a time. She prays this is one of those moments.
“Romans 12:12 ‘Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.’ The above verse shows us how we are to respond in various situations that we face in life. Our hearts should be full of joy because we have hope in Christ.”
Prayer teams are available following the meal.
Religious books and CD’s may be available at the meal.
Since the day is designed to speak to the hearts of women, free of distractions, it is respectfully requested that young children under the age of 14 not be in attendance.
