Congratulations and Gratitude

Cheers to CUSA, a ministry to the sick and disabled for the last 75 years. Our congratulations and gratitude for those members, clergy, and friends who have contributed to the many blessings and benefits CUSA had to offer.

Looking forward to an exciting future as part of RENEW International.

It seems as if we celebrated the Golden Jubilee of CUSA just yesterday. However, today we observe yet another milestone in the history of CUSA – the 75th anniversary of its institution by Mrs. Laure Brunner and Fr. Thomas Finn. As the editor of our biannual magazine, I wrote a short article on the occasion of our Golden Jubilee which is as true today as it was then:

CUSA is a community of people who have accepted the invitation of Jesus and picked up the cross of chronic illness or disability. We support one another through our prayers and letters. We have forged a special kind of relationship that goes beyond the realms of simple friendship. Our unity is a unity born of a common situation and a common faith. Our bond goes beyond that of fraternal organizations or social clubs, for our bond is forged by the redemptive suffering of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Let us continue to pray for one another.

Father Lawrence Jagdfeld, OFM Spiritual director and former administrator of CUSA
