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:
OUR ONLINE PRAYER REQUEST FORM: CLICK HERE. Simply complete this form and we will add your prayer below. Only specifics you choose to share will appear. Rest assured we are one with you in prayer!
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.
The Prayer Network will appear on our website every month and a push notice sent to you remind you to include those listed in your daily prayer. Only first name and last initial will appear on our Prayer Network. God knows what each person listed needs -we don need to identify it for God. It also follows HIPPA guidelines for sharing medical information. NO COMPUTER- no worries! We will send you a hard copy via mail. Please call either parish office with your name and address and we will make sure you are sent a copy.
