Week of April 12, 2010
Dear Friends,
This past Sunday, April 11, our family held the first annual Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Concert!
It was a memorable night with both Randy Travis and Collin Raye giving incredible performances. In particular, Collin Raye who had lost his granddaughter Haley to a terminal brain condition, just days before the concert.Not only did we have wonderful volunteers that helped organize and promote the concert, but our family was greeted by friends and longtime supporters that came to Indianapolis from all over the country to share this special evening with us. We cannot adequately thank all those that were there to support our efforts so that we can continue helping the countless other brain-injured persons living in our nation today.
We will soon have a DVD available of Terri's Life & Hope Concert and will let you know as soon as they are available!
Again, God Bless all of our friends, sponsors and everyone that made this night an incredible success! We are already planning our next concert and hope to see everyone again next year!
Terri's Day 2010!
On Wednesday, March 31, the National Mass for Terri's Day was celebrated at 5:00 in the evening at the beautiful Ave Maria Oratory, located near Naples, Florida. The National Terri's Day Mass was celebrated to not only remember Terri but also to remember the tens of thousands like Terri whose lives are in potential danger of being killed in the same way that Terri was.
Father Frank Pavone gave a wonderful and touching homily on Terri's life and legacy as well as the solemnity of the Easter Season. Father Thomas Euteneuer, along with close to a dozen priests concelebrated this special mass.
In attendance were Mr. Thomas Monaghan, founder ofAve Maria University, Mr. Nick Healy, President of Ave Maria, the Franciscan Brothers of Peace, Terri's family, and several hundreds of friends and supporters.
We have included articles about Terri's Day in this Newsletter and hope you will take a few minutes to read about this most special day.
