Join Us in “Storming” Heaven for Baby Oliver and Blessed Margaret Castello


We Lay Dominicans of the St. Joseph Province are praying for the complete cure of Baby Oliver, the son and grandson of members of our community. What makes this even more compelling and unique is that we are asking God, if it be His holy will, to produce this mighty miracle through the intercession of our beloved Lay Dominican sister, Blessed Margaret of Castello (1293-1320), who was blind and deformed from birth, thereby providing the second miracle needed for her canonization. (You can find out more about Blessed Margaret here and here.)

The success of this prayer effort rests where it belongs – in the hands of our Almighty and loving God. What a great blessing it would be, not only for Oliver, his family and our Dominican family but the entire Catholic Church, if God used Oliver’s cure to give birth to yet another Lay Dominican saint!

Will you, your family and friends join us in this prayer effort?

You will find the Novena and Canonization prayers and excerpts from an explanatory column from the Provincial President of the Lay Fraternities of St. Dominic, St. Joseph Province, below.
