Dear Father:
Yes Father, or as I refer to you as my "Miracle Worker", you did it again. You must have faxed my intentions to St. Dymphna, cause with a few days after hearing from you stating you would pray hard for a quick closing, well you did it again.
Dear Father:
My husband is very sick and deeply depressed. I trust in St. Dymphna's intercession. She has been a great blessing in my families lives. She has helped us so many times... How blessed we are to have such a great saint in our Catholic faith.

My parents first visited your shrine in 1958 and have been prayfully devoted to St. Dymphna ever since. My mother's strong faith and devotion to St. Dymphna and the blessed Mother helped her to overcome many obstacles, mainly her anxiety and depression, during her life. In short, I feel her faith enabled her to be a survivor.
