"Lord Jesus, I love You. Thank You for giving me Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion. Stay close to me today and help me to be kind, obedient, and helpful to everyone I meet. Amen."
THANK YOU to our catechists Dorota Haraf & Eliza Devadas and to Aniela Sedziak-Garg for your tremendous dedication to our parish’s First Communion class this year. Your willingness to share the Catholic faith and guide our children toward the sacraments is a true gift to our whole community. May God bless your ministry and reward your faithful service abundantly.
St. Thérèse of Lisieux: “Heaven for me is hidden in a little Host Where Jesus, my Spouse, is veiled for love.”
PRAYER FOR PARISH RENEWAL
Heavenly Father, we thank you for gathering us together and calling us to serve as your disciples. You have charged us through your Son, Jesus, with the great mission of evangelizing and witnessing your love to the world.
Send your Holy Spirit to guide us as we discern Your will for the spiritual renewal of our parish. Give us strength, courage, and clear vision as we use our gifts to serve you.
We entrust our parish to the care of Mary, our mother, and ask for her intercession and guidance as we strive to bear witness to the Gospel and build a community of faith, hope, and love. Amen.
St Thomas More… Pray for us!
Mary, Mother of Vocations…Pray for us!
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus …Have mercy on us!
