benefactors' spotlight

The Father Peyton Legacy Society is a group of caring friends who provide for the future of Holy Cross Family Ministries through a planned gift. Today, Joyce and Shelly Ehrenzweig, members of the Father Peyton Legacy Society, are carrying on that tradition by offering their prayers and support through a thoughtful, planned gift to Holy Cross Family Ministries. “Shelly and I are happy to help promote Father Peyton's goal of building spiritually strong families. Whatever we have, including financial assets, comes from God. We are grateful that we are able to share what we have with Holy Cross Family Ministries.”

“I trust in the power of the Rosary. The world is full of problems. Being Catholic and trying to be religious is not easy, but the Rosary brings us together,” says Joyce. Joyce and her husband, Shelly, have attended the daily Rosary and Mass for many years at The Father Peyton Center and the Museum of Family Prayer in Easton, Massachusetts. They have experienced the impact of The Father Peyton Center and Museum on their lives through the stronger prayer life and marriage they have developed.

Shelly says, “The Rosary is not just for Catholics. We come from different backgrounds, but we can all come together to pray the Rosary.” Joyce and Shelly have found that their experiences at daily Rosary and Mass and tours of the Museum have improved their spiritual life and strengthened their faith and marriage by bringing them together. The power of prayer is alive and well in Joyce and Shelly’s lives. Almost daily, they and many other visitors experience the positive impact of HCFM’s work at The Father Peyton Center and Museum.
