Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Edited on June 23 to add this update:

Here is a update from Father Deusterhaus:

http://vienna.patch.com/articles/vienna-native-bishop-oconne ll-english-teacher-tom-duesterhaus-missing

My Dear Friends in Christ,

     I am sending this email to you (and many others) and I apologize for the general reply nature of this post, but I can write only so many messages. Please feel free to forward this to any and all.

     The following is a statement from my family:

“Tom has been missing since Friday afternoon. Some of his personal property has been found in a bag on Virginia Beach. A man we believe to be him was sighted taking a swim in the ocean by a woman in a nearby “beach house”. He was to have begun a four day retreat there on Monday. His car, car keys, and credit card still have not been located. We have no evidence of foul play nor any criminal activity. With Tom’s love of his family and his community of Youth Apostles (YA) we have to believe he will eventually contact someone unless of course he is unable to do so. Meanwhile the police, his family, including the YA, love him and continue to search, and to look for more ways to locate Tom.”
If you have information to help us find him please send it to Rich@duesterhaus.net or Father.Jack@marymount.edu
Or the Virginia Beach or Fairfax County Police departments.

     Please keep on praying and for those on Facebook, look up my brother Greg’s page for updates.

     More later as life unfolds.

In Jesus, Through Mary,
   FrMRD

"Keep your eye on the crucifix,
   for Jesus without the cross
      is a man without a mission;
        and the cross without Jesus
             is a burden without a reliever."

†A.M.D.G.†




Dear Ladies,

I just saw this posted on a friend's Facebook page! Please storm heaven!

Peace.

"My dear consecrated brother, Tom Duesterhaus is missing. None of us has heard from him since Friday. He was last seen at Virginia Beach early Saturday morning. Please flood heaven with your prayers. Lord, please send our brother back to us." by: Father David Sharland
