Teenager beatified

Join the live satellite transmission from Rome of the beatification of Chiara "Luce" Badano at the Shrine of Our Lady of Divine Love in Rome at the Focolare Centre, 842 Lighthouse Court, Coquitlam, on Sept. 25 at 10 a.m. The 18-year-old who died in 1990 was a shining light of faith who began to help the poor while she was still a child. At the age of nine, she embraced the Focolare Movement. Many were led to the Catholic faith because of her acceptance of her disease and her complete reliance on God to help her.
Chaira Luce was proclaimed Venerable in 2008. In 2009, Pope Benedict XVI recognized a miracle obtained through her intercession. For more information about attending the beatification, call 604-468-2871 or go to ffvancouver@shaw.ca. Please bring your own lunch.
