In the early 1920’s Edward made regular visits to the Chapel House of St. Gerard with his Mother, and he knew Mary Grace,
he was about 6 years old when Mary Grace passed away in 1927. He is known as a “Living Miracle” because of cures
he received through her intercession to God. He is a true testament to her holy intercession.
