A mother (widow) raises 10 children, all become priests or nuns except one, who became a Bishop! This is a picture of all the siblings with Pope John XXIII Beautiful! The Scheerer family – 1 Bishop, 6 Priests, 3 Dominican Nuns.
In a milieu where vocations are stifled by worldly cares. Photo such as this, reminds us that vocations start in the family.
The family is the seedbed of vocations, who germinates love for God and a life of service for and with God through one’s neighbor.
Very inspiring family.

erlyn, have faith! don’t doubt. He will at His own perfect time – Kairos. As of now, live in peace and trust, knowing that He who loves us knows exactly what our heart’s desire.
