Fr. Tim Vakoc is needs our love and prayers

Jim & Joann Feeley

Dear Jack & Karen,

Thank you for adding our prayer request for Father Tim Vakoc, the Army chaplain wounded in Iraq. I did a little searching for more detail than I was able to provide initially. He was wounded on May 29th near Mosul, reportedly on the 12th anniversary of his ordination. He absorbed just about the full force of the explosion and those in the armored Humvee with him were shaken up but not wounded seriously.

There is an internet site called CaringBridge.org where people can sign an electronic guest book and share words of support for Father Tim and his family. There is even an update section which, as of today, relates that Father is still being treated for meningitis and responds best to the sound of his Mom's voice. It is very moving to read the messages of prayerful support and love for this brave Priest in the guest book.

Thanks again for your efforts for WWME and for keeping Father Tim in your prayers.

Love and Prayers,
Jim & Joann Feeley
