Thanks to the generosity of our Saint Catherine's Philoptochos Chapter as well as the Metropolis of Boston and National Philoptochos, parishioner Christine Galatis received assistance in seeking medical care for a paralyzing spinal condition.
By the prayers of many, as well as material support and, most importantly, her determination, Christine has taken her first steps.
See the video here. Through the prayers of the Mother of God, may her steps continue to grow.
