“On October 18, 2006, I was diagnosed with lung cancer. My family and I were very discouraged. After a few days, I decided not to give up. I began radiation therapy and chemotherapy in November 2006. I finished my treatments in March 2007. I began to pray to Good Saint Anne every day and we went to the Shrine several times with my husband, my two children and my sisters. I prayed with all my heart to the Infant Jesus, Holy Mary, Saint Joseph and Saint Anne. Last week, on June 15, 2007, I had a CAT scan at the Laval Hospital in Quebec City. The doctor assured me that I was cured; I realized in my heart that Saint Anne had performed a miracle for me and I thanked her immediately. I told the doctor that we are very happy about this good news. We will continue to pray to Good Saint Anne every day for what she has done for me. [No place identified]

A gentleman from Chambly, Quebec writes, “My mother has just died; you can remove her name from the subscription list for the Revue Sainte-Anne… My parents were great believers and they had a great devotion to Saint Anne. When they were married in 1940. They went on their honeymoon to Saint Anne de Beaupré... A little later, the federal government began calling up married men to go and fight in the war in Europe. My father then promised to go on a pilgrimage to Saint Anne de Beaupré at least once a year if he was not called to the war. He never received the letter asking him to appear at the Canadian Armed Forces Centre. So he kept his promise and never spent a year of his life without going on a pilgrimage to Sainte Anne de Beaupré with my mother and later with me... My wife and I continue to make our yearly visit to the Shrine of Saint Anne de Beaupré.

A lady from Elsipogtog, New Brunswick writes: “Three years ago my brother was suffering from bowel cancer. The cancer had spread to his kidneys, bladder and stomach. He went to hospital for surgery but the doctors found that the cancerous tissue was too far developed to be removed. The only remaining option was chemotherapy and radiation treatment; it was hoped that the cancerous tissue would decrease and it could then be removed by surgery. If these treatments were not successful, he was given six months to live. He decided to fight the cancer with the help of Good Saint Anne and the Blessed Mother. Several months later, the cancer had significantly reduced and a part of the cancerous tissue was able to be removed by surgery. In June 2004 he asked me to take him to Saint Anne de Beaupré. He was released from hospital after the operation and we went directly to Sainte Anne de Beaupré. He bought a medal of Saint Peregrine and prayed to be cured of the cancer. Two days later, we returned to Elsipogtog. In the months following our pilgrimage to Saint Anne, he continued his chimo treatments. He prayed every day to Good Saint Anne and to Saint Peregrine. He returned to see his doctor to find out if the cancer was progressing or not. To his surprise, he found out that the bowel, kidneys, bladder and stomach were all free from cancer. For two years, my brother has been cured from cancer. My brother lost his medal of Saint Peregrine for a few months and he was quite upset. He looked for months and months and finally found it in his camper. He was surprised when he saw the medal – it had changed colour. Enclosed and sealed in plastic, it had turned a reddish colour. It seemed that the my brother's cancer had been taken from his body and transferred to his medal. When I went on another pilgrimage to Saint Anne, he wanted this medallion to be placed at the Shrine as an ex-voto. My brother is now completely cured of cancer.

A gentleman from Ancienne-Lorette writes: “When I took possession of my parents’ house in 1992, I had a problem – there was a tree close to the house for 40 years, 50 feet high, located on the east side, close to the new electrical entrance. I wanted to have it cut down but no one dared to do it. There were mobile homes close by and it would have been a disaster if it had fallen on them. I remained apprehensive. When taking possession of my house (my mother had just returned to the Maison du Père), I did a complete cleanout of his magazines. He had subscribed to the Revue Ste-Anne and that of Notre-Dame-du-Cap, and kept every issue. I decided, “That’s enough, I will sort it”. I took a big green bag and voila. But a surprise was waiting for me. A small plastic envelope 2 inches by 3 inches fell to the ground. It contained an image of Saint Anne with, “the size of a toothpick”, a relic of a “statue saved from the flames”, once sent to my mother. I placed it in my room at the head of the bed facing the side of the house where the tree was. During the night there was a high wind. I heard the sound of fir branches without realizing that it was my tree. It had broken and fell between the house and the trailers, without harming the electrical entrance. When I woke up I sat to myself, “It's a miracle!”. I wanted this tree to be felled without a problem and this is what happened. I am sending a photo: the good Saint Anne still present in the house, the toothpick relic taken from the statue, replaced at the top of the Basilica during reconstruction, the bottom of the tree, broken at the height of the roof, the side of the house which is 35 to 40 feet long, the window of my room. I have placed the relic in a green and red box. A friend of my father’s cut the branches and trunk a few days later. I was impressed to read the Mass of the day. The Gospel says, “ If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, say to this tree, Be thou cast into the sea, and it will happen. I simply asked for a solution to the problem of my tree, without any damage, and it was granted.

[ Venerable Alfred Pampalon ] A lady from Timperley Altrincham, Cheshire, England, wrote at the end of 2006. “My son had everything – a good home, a choice education at a Catholic school and university. He was 16 years old when he began to take drugs. For four years he was a slave: he smoked Skunk, a potent form of cannabis, he consumed Ecstasy, Cocaine and Amphetamines and finally magic mushrooms (psilocybin), a powerful hallucinogen. He said he took anything and everything he could get. He was living the life of a “hobo” in parks and shelters and lodged in all the houses that would take him. He became careless about himself and very thin. He was psychotic and reluctant towards anyone who wanted to help him. He phoned me often and told me he didn’t have any reason to live; he was on the point of committing ѕυιcιdє. I prayed unceasingly to Jesus to help him. The people in my Catholic church of St John the Baptist of Timperley prayed unceasingly for him. My parish priest also prayed for him. Masses were said for him and prayer groups unceasingly commended him to the Lord. But he remained a slave to drugs. I then received a sheet from a mother whose son is a Brother with the Franciscans de la Réparation ( Atonement ).This community works with alcoholics and those who consume drugs. In this sheet there was a prayer to the Venerable Alfred Pampalon. I then made a Novena prayer that it would be found. About a week later, my son Matthieu phoned me one morning to tell me that he had not used drugs that day. “You did well, Matthieu”. Mathieu did not use any more drugs for about 17 months. He said that he no longer wants to use them. He is well and works, in full health. At first, I didn’t tell him that I had prayed to Father Alfred. Matthieu didn’t believe at the time in the power of prayer; he thought he had done it all by himself. I told him recently about the Novena I had made to Father Pampalon. He was very interested. I asked him to meet with his doctor so he could prove that he was free from his slavery to drugs. It took me a month to get this visit. Matthieu doesn’t live with us and works outdoors and things took some time to arrange. I am sending you the letter from Dr. Caplan confirming that Matthieu has not taken drugs since June 2005. “Matthieu was on an anti-depressant from November 2004 to June 2005. He has made immense progress and in fact has taken no more medication since June 2005. I has stopped using any drugs since June 2005. He is now well on his own, without any mental or physical deterioration.” (Dr. Bernard Caplan, Timperley Health Centre, Cheshire, October 23, 2006.)
