PRAYER NETWORK INTENTIONS
One hallmark of a caring community is a praying community. In prayer, we can rejoice together with our members' prayers of thanksgiving. We can share our concern or sorrow with our members' prayers of petition in times of need or mourning. Recent requests for the community are shown below. There are two ways you can join in asking for prayers:

BOOK OF INTENTIONS AT WEEKEND MASS: If you would like the name of a loved one who is ill to be written in our Book of Intentions for the weekend let us know or write it in yourself when you join us for Mass. Each weekend, our General Intercessions are read from this book. We pray specifically at each weekend Mass for all the intentions and everyone named in our Book of Intentions.
