Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide.

Petra, 1/9/2015 - My prayer goes out to the Sweeney family of Lanark County who have just lost their youngest sister to cancer. I pray that with the passing of their sister that the Holy Spirit will be invited into their lives by each of them - that there is still the possibility of their heart, attitudes, and behavior being changed. I pray that they come to realize that Death is final, and after that, no amount of praying will avail a person of the salvation he/she has rejected in life and with that each and every member of the Sweeney family will turn towards our Heavenly Father asking for forgiveness over their lives and asking for guidance for a renewed Spirit.

Lorna, 1/9/2015 - MARY FRANCES ROUECHE
Mrs. Mary Frances Nassif Roueche passed away peacefully January 9th, 2015 after a short period of declining health. She was a first generation born in the United States on December 29, 1923 to Lebanese parents, Frank Nassif and Jana Reizck Nassif. She married Peter David Roueche, Sr. in 1947 and together they raised three sons.
She is survived by her sons Peter David Roueche, Jr. (Barbara) of Salisbury; Jon Terrance Roueche (Caroline) of Rock Hill, SC. and Frank Anthony Roueche of Salisbury. She is also survived by six grandchildren, Wendy Roueche of Salisbury, Sara Roueche Dulski of Huntersville, Elizabeth Roueche Williams of Rock Hill, SC, Jon Terrance Roueche, Jr. of Charlotte, Mary Virginia Roueche Allen of Charleston, SC, and Lee Frances Roueche of Philadelphia, PA. She leaves a legacy of seven great-grandchildren, Mary Frances and Rachel Anne McCullough of Salisbury, John and Jane Dulski of Huntersville, Benjamin Williams of Rock Hill, SC, and Virginia and Ella Allen of Charleston, SC. She is also survived by her sisters Margaret Nassif Baddour of Jackson, TN and Elizabeth Nassif Koury (Bill) of Mooresville, NC and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband who died December 1, 1993 and her brother Fred Ayash, Jr., in 2005.
Mary Frances’ life is best characterized by her faith in the Roman Catholic Church and devotion to Sacred Heart Catholic Church. She attended daily Mass and was a charter member of Catholic Daughters Court #1759. She was named Catholic Woman of the Year several times. Mary Frances began singing in the choir at the age of ten years old. Music and the church choir were her passions. She was a mezzo soprano and studied under Miss Grace Goodykoontz in the 1930’s and became a soloist at the age of 15. She was the choir director and organist for nearly three decades at Sacred Heart and was also a charter member of The Concert Choir, founded in 1976. Her induction into the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem in 2001 by Cardinal McCarrick, Archbishop of Washington D.C., was the culmination of her years of dedication.
She was most at home in the kitchen cooking and passing on the Lebanese culture and traditions to her family. She cooked for the Rotary for 20 years and they honored her in 1992 as an honorary lifelong member for her service.
Mary Frances was a graduate of Boyden High School and worked her early years as a hair dresser. Later she worked at Rowan Memorial Hospital in the hospitality shop and managed the gift shop for the Women’s Auxiliary.
Visitation will be Sunday January 11, 2015 from 6 – 8 pm at Summersett Funeral Home. Rite of Christian Burial Mass will be celebrated Monday at 11am at Sacred Heart Catholic Church with burial to follow at Chestnut Hill Cemetery.

Marie, 1/9/2015 - My girlfriend (or ex girlfriend . . . it is rather unclear) has noted she wanted to end things. Any issues / concerns between us, I deemed rather minor; however, she feels it is best to part ways. I do not want to end things. She is being distant, noting she needs “space†and communication between us is not great. I pray that her heart, soul and mind are blessed with compassion for me and that she remembers the love we had for each other. I pray that we can reconcile our relationship to the way it was. . . or stronger and better than what it was.

May he continue to walk in your path and stay in your positive graces being sober. I am so happy so far with him and I pray that this continues in the right direction for both he and I. I truly believe that we both deserve to be happy and I pray and hope that our happiness is together.
May you also bless all those in the world who are currently looking for work and are battling any kind of addiction. They need you by their side to walk and hold them up when things feel dark - you will be there to lighten their life and heart.
I also ask that you and Our Dear Blessed Mother continue to shield my mother from any evil and keep her safe. May she be rid of any negative or evil thoughts. I ask that you bless her with you healing touch and that she realize she is here on earth because you have a plan even though she does not feel like living any longer.
