Mary, Woman of Faith
O Mary, Mother of Christ and
Mother of our Catholic Church,
may all women of the world take you
as their model of what it
means to be a woman.
May you, who are the Woman of Faith,
lead us by the power of the Spirit
to a new evangelization of the world.
Written by Bishop David E. Foley
February 1996

You are wonderful. It is good that Magnificat exists to hold together Catholic women. Do not get discouraged, ever!
The service team is doing an amazing job, keep up the great work!!!! (thanks, we feel the same way about our Advisory team of ladies and volunteers that help us in so many ways. The meals wouldn't be a success without them.)
I love all "you-all" do for Mary and her children.
[She] was a very pleasant and welcoming hostess. I brought my [guests], all from different or no churches, and they all felt welcome.

March 2nd Prayer Luncheon
About our Speaker:
Jess Echeverry
“Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?” - Matthew 6:26-27
Jess Echeverry is a women and family advocate and speaker. She has survived severe childhood trauma, years of homelessness, abortion just to name a few. In 1997, she met the man she would eventually marry; this man would help her create an environment of authentic love that enabled her healing journey, her relationship with Jesus Christ and her eventual forgiveness and love for her attackers. She converted to Catholicism in 2008.
Her husband Charlie is a Permanent Deacon for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Together Deacon Charlie & Jess have 5 children: 2 sons still at home, 2 young adults out in the world, and 1 lovely soul in Heaven.
Inspired by the good things God has wrought in her life, she published her first book, ‘Dazzled: Finding the Key to Perfect Forgiveness” detailing her life experiences in a way that lifts up and enlightens others who are searching for ways to heal. She is a strong and effective speaker who has been able to, with the help of God’s grace; turn those past experiences, and all the healing that she has received along the way, into real, loving help for others.
Please have lunch with us and listen to Jess describe her journey and how she found the key to perfect forgiveness. Her autographed copies of “Dazzled: Finding the Key to Perfect Forgiveness” will be available for purchase after the meal.
