Caring Bridge for Peggy Leblanc
For over 20 years Mrs. Peggy Leblanc served in youth ministry at the Diocese of Baton Rouge. She currently works as the DRE at St. John the Baptist in Brusly, LA. Many of you are blessed to know her, and we wanted to be sure that you all were informed of her current situation. Below in quotations is the e-mail from her pastor, Fr. Matt Dupre that was sent on Monday February 27, 2012.
"As you may be aware Peggy LeBlanc, our DRE here at St. John's, under went surgery this morning to remove a small mass in her pancreas. The surgeons were unable to remove the tumor. The tumor was larger than they expected and some of the lymph nodes were involved as well. They will allow her to recover from surgery for a couple of weeks and then begin chemo and/or radiation treatments. Please pass this on to other DRE's and please keep her and her family in your prayers. Thanks."
Fr. Matt Dupre
I would like to ask each of you to pray for Peggy, her family, and all the medical staff who are taking care of her. She very much appreciates all the prayer, love, and support you can give her! Even now, she is thinking of everyone else over herself. Thank you for your prayerful support.
If you would like to receive updates about Peggy, please feel free to join her Caring Bridge Page here.
