            describe the experience. When he returned home, she told him that
            October 1st is the feast day of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, affectionately
            known as The Little Flower. Keith felt certain that St. Thérèse was
            interceding for him, further affirming the spiritual significance of the
            moment.

                   “When I die, I will send down a shower of roses from the
            heavens, I will spend my heaven by doing good on earth.”
            ~ St. Thérèse of Lisieux

            2020: He Is Risen: A Family's Encounter with the Light of
            Christ and the Visitation of Holy Mother Mary at St. John
            Fisher Church

                   On April 12, 2020, Easter Sunday, during the height of the
            COVID-19 pandemic, Keith and his thirteen-year-old daughter,
            Lexis, encountered an unusual event while watching an online
            Mass service from home. They noticed a sudden, bright light that
            briefly illuminated their hallway and living room. Initially, they
            thought little of it. However, two weeks later, Keith’s wife, Tracy,
            was discussing the incident with Caterina Krai, the parish faith
            director at St. Lawrence Martyr Catholic Church. After speaking to
            Caterina, Tracy inquired about the location where Keith had seen
            the light. He pointed to a spot on the wall midway down the hallway,
            approximately five feet from the floor. To Keith’s amazement, Tracy
            revealed that she had placed a picture frame directly on the
            opposite side of that wall in their room, which read, “He Is Risen
            (Matthew 28:6).”
