5 DID YOU KNOW? Underage alcohol use could lead to larger problems The negative consequences of underage drinking are more widespread and serious than previously know. Research shows that alcohol can change the way the brain works and could lead to long-term consequences. Many more dangers of underage drinking are immediate, including alcohol poisoning, physical assault and poor decision making. You can help protect your children from the risks associated with drinking by maintaining open communication, and by expressing a clear, consistent message that underage drinking is unacceptable.

6 Cafe Brazil Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, CA (310) Great Pupusas PETITIONS TO ST. GERARD MAJELLA PATRON OF MOTHERS, DIFFICULT PREGNANCIES, AND CHILDLESS COUPLES. Ed: Dear Saint Gerard Majella, me and my husband are praying for your mercy to bless and grant our wish to have a baby/children as we start our journey as husband and wife. We will strengthen our faith and love to God because we believe in You, through Christ our Lord. Amen Anon: Dear St Gerard Church, I am not sure if this is where I may request a prayer. My apologies if it not the right place. I am 20 weeks pregnant with twin girls and am diagnosed with an issue that puts me at risk for delivery any day now. As a preventative measure, I am scheduled for an emergency surgical procedure tomorrow to try to hold on to this pregnancy. The risk associated with the surgery is extremely high. I can very well lose the pregnancy if I went through it but if I don t do anything I will for sure lose the pregnancy. I am so devastated and I look to God, St Gerard and the Virgin Mary to help me through this difficult journey. My hope is that the surgery tomorrow will be a successful one. Please pray for us. Last year, I had lost my son at 18 weeks gestation. I don t want history to repeat itself. Thank you so much! Praying for a miracle. I would like my name to be anonymous. Thank you! Anon: For the health & well being of the unborn babies of the Lew family, Kolanko family, Link family, Garcia family, McNamee family, & Roth family. Thanks Jeannette: Once again I am seeking Saint Gerard to please intercede for us, if its God will for us to have another child. May he give us hope and a steadfast faith that God will do what is best for us. Amen. Anon: Please protect the baby boy in Erin s stomach. Take care of Erin during the pregnancy and please relieve the suffering during the pregnancy. 6
