'We Haven't Stopped Receiving Graces'

Dear HAPP,

On Aug. 6, 2013, our group came together to begin the 33 Days to Morning Glory Retreat. Our consecration date was on Sept. 8, 2013, and what a glorious day it was! With our parish priest, Fr. Patrick O'Neil, we made our consecration in St. Joseph's Parish Church, North Sydney, Nova Scotia - what a day!

Father Gaitley, we love you, and we haven't stopped receiving graces since then.

Some of us continued on with the Consoling the Heart of Jesus Retreat, and we completed it on the first Sunday of Advent, 2013. We are now continuing on with the Appendix Retreat (Consoling the Heart of Jesus), which we began on Feb. 2, 2014 (Presentation of the Lord) and will end on Passion Sunday. Then, not long after, we will be seeing you, God willing!

This being our third retreat with Fr. Gaitley, you can understand why we love him - he's like part of our family now, and we can't wait to see him. Father Gaitley, we can't wait to see you in May at the Atlantic Marian Gathering on May 23-26, at Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We just can't wait to see you and thank you personally. We were amazed at the gifts that God gave you and how blessed we were to have you as our spiritual director.

We would like Fr. Gaitley to be aware that our Fr. Patrick O'Neil is also speaking at the same Marian conference in Halifax, and our group will also be attending this conference, God willing! We are so looking forward to the conference!

Thank you again for your support. God bless you for all the good work and many, many thanks!

Loving you through the Two Hearts of Jesus and Mary,

Doris, Louise and Marjorie
