Fast forward to Dec 2022, and Dominic began suffering headaches. An MRI revealed a large mass on his brain. He went on medications and he and his parents debated whether or not to have brain surgery.
Months later, in May 2023, Dominic said the Virgin Mary appeared to him in his room and assured him he would recover. "She was dressed exactly like we imagine her...and she told me everything would be OK."
In June Dominic had a CAT scan and the doctor called and told him not to worry about surgery. The tumor had shrunk to just a small blip.
Dominic serves as an alter boy and unfortunately, is having seizures. He still plans to become a priest, he says, if the Lord says the same.
Please join me in prayer for Dominic to be healed once again.
When Elmo Lil' Dominic Auricchio was a 4-year-old, "I had a dream God came to me," he said, "He told me to be a priest, and then I went to my my mom's bedroom...it was the middle of the night...and ever since then I wanted to become a priest."
