I have completed 4 cycles of chemotherapy and my lymphoma disease is undetectable. I am deeply grateful to my OLL Parish community for supporting me these past 4 months through prayers, phone calls, and food. It has certainly been a humbling experience to watch the grace of God work through you. You are in my prayers. -John Zarek

She is a member of St. Vincent de Paul, parish choir, contemplative prayer group, and the newly formed Phoebe Circle. Beth is an early American historian and has published three books on religion and most recently, the history of reading in her native South. She has taught at universities in Virginia, Arkansas, and Seattle, held fellowships at Yale University and the University of Cambridge, and loves old books. The Schweigers’ son lives in New York City.
