A love that endured Marian Helpers in Action Daniel’s devotion to the Eucharist and Divine Mercy is a gift he received from his parents, Ken and Joanne Clough, who were dedicated volunteers at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy for many years. Joanne passed away in March 2018, after 56 years of marriage; Ken followed her in April 2023. While they lived, the couple bore witness to God’s mercy to nearly everyone they met. Their gratitude for His many blessings would not let them keep silent. Faith and family Joanne was always devout. She pursued spiritual union with God as a Third Order Carmelite, advocated for the unborn, and faithfully raised a large family in a small house filled with love. Joanne did not drive, but when she was home alone with the children, she often walked them to the church By Marian Friedrichs Daniel Clough recently moved from his home state of New York to Virginia, but the increased distance from Massachusetts will not stop him from serving as volunteer director in the Adoration Tent at the annual Divine Mercy Sunday celebration in Stockbridge. Daniel cherishes Eucharistic Adoration because “it’s just you and God. His Mercy is coming forth from the Eucharist.” 4 Marian Helper • Winter 2023-24 • Marian.org Ken was delighted when Daniel brought him his Divine Mercy Sunday volunteer hat and lanyard in the hospital.
