Rachel Lozano and her husband, Gabe, displayed a large icon of Blessed William Joseph Chaminade after a July 16 prayer service marking the closing of the archdiocesan investigation into claims that Rachel’s cancer was cured by a miracle attributed to Blessed Chaminade. The Lozanos held a smaller icon that is to be presented to Archbishop Robert J. Carlson as a gift to the archdiocese. The prayer service took place at Our Lady of the Pillar Church in Creve Coeur.

Rachel Lozano sometimes feels a sense of disbelief that her life is a miracle. After suffering three bouts of a rare form of sarcoma, a cancer that affects the connective tissue, the 27-year-old has been declared cancer-free for the past six years. Her survival is being attributed to the claim of a miracle through the intercession of Blessed William Joseph Chaminade, founder of the Society of Mary (Marianists).
