Have you been diagnosed with breast cancer? No one should walk this journey alone.

Whether you are newly diagnosed or have long ago completed treatments, you are invited to consider joining a new prayer and support group forming in St. Francis Xavier Parish.

This group will be led by Cheryl Hertrick, a parishioner and nurse practitioner specializing in pediatric oncology, who recently finished treatment herself. The focus will be on prayer and support for one another. It will incorporate Scripture and a breast cancer devotional reading.

The group plans to hold its first meeting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 9. If you are planning to attend and have not yet RSVP’d, please contact Cheryl for location details and other information, at 919-824-6032 or czrn@msn.com.
