Many saints have suffered with mental illness, such as St. Oscar Romero, St. Louis Martin, St. Jane Frances de Chantal, St. Joseph Benedict Labre and St. Alphonsa Muttathupadatha, which demonstrates that struggles with mental illness can coexist with profound faith and holiness. Come to the next St. Dymphna Prayer Group on Saturday, May 9, at 11a.m. in the Parish Office Great Room. Pray with us, watch a video about mental illness and if you choose, share your story over lunch, provided by the SJE MHA Ministry team. For information or to RSVP contact [email protected]. Saints who had anxiety and show us it is possible to find strength and peace through faith:

Saint Therese of Lisieux found peace through her faith and trust in God.
