NEWS FROM THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING WORLD

From Kevin Rowles we received these so interesting news:

• 
  A Scottish-based Catholic organisation The Holy Family Apostolate, recently bought copies of the booklet on Blessed Alexandrina "A Living Miracle of the Eucharist" to give to all their members. The Holy Family Apostolate produces a magazine called "Family Friend".


• 
  A Carmelite hospital and hospice chaplain from Nebraska, USA, Anthony Salomone, wrote asking about the Blessed Alexandrina booklet, and is helping to spread devotion to the Beata among the sick and dying that he ministers to.


• 
  A Franciscan priest in New York, Fr Joseph di Mauro, is doing great work in helping to spread devotion to the Beata among clergy, religious and laity. It is hoped that he will be getting some prayer cards printed up to distribute, so that people can pray for Blessed Alexandrina's Canonisation.


• 
  Small pieces of the woollen shawl that once belonged to the Beata, kindly sent to England by José Ferreira, have been sent to all of the above, in order to help spread and encourage devotion to her.
