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.
