More prayers for Johnny Anderson

For those who had not heard the details . . . Johnny Anderson, son of Joe and Margie Anderson, was hit by a car on Main Street Thursday afternoon. After being taken to Good Sam he was air lifted to Loyola's Pediatric Trauma Unit.

He is currently in a drug-induced coma and has sustained multiple injuries including a broken collar bone, severely bruised kidneys and liver, a punctured spleen and the most concerning at this time, two severely bruised lungs.

In the first 24 hours after injury the lungs won't show the trauma, but the next 48 hours after that are the most critical. With that in mind there will be two more opportunities for us to pray as a St. Joseph Church Community. After 5pm mass on Saturday 6/21 and after 5pm mass on Sunday 6/22 of this weekend.

We will also be praying for Janet Crosswhite, a mother of two children that both went to St. Joseph's and are now at DGN. She was in a bicycle accident, colliding with another cyclist in a forest preserve in Brookfield and is now at Loyola as well. Janet is in a coma but last night began turning her head in response to peoples voices.

There is so much to pray for. Please feel free to share this email with anyone you know that might want to attend or could simply pray for Johnny, Janet and their families.

Let's Storm Heaven!!!
