Holy Mass in thanksgiving for all our patrons and benefactors follows Exposition at 6 pm. We give thanks for the generous souls who make it possible for us to continue our ministry here - that is to spread the Gospel message of Jesus Christ, one person at a time, right here, right now. Some of you we know, some of you prefer to remain anonymous. To each of you we say "Thank you" and we promise to pray for you.

Prayer for Priests
Lord God, most holy, we approach you in gratitude for your holy ordained priesthood. You have called these men to be set apart and to shepherd your people, as you shepherd your entire church. We pray for them in their daily work. Grant to them an increase in spiritual gifts and grace, so they may be prepared for the tasks at hand. Lead them not into temptation and protect them from the grasp of the evil one. It is through the sacraments they confer that we encounter the divine in real and profound ways. May our church never lose sight of these, your special sons, and may we, the body of Christ, never fail to cherish the gift of their lives, which they have freely given to you and your holy church. We ask this in the name of Jesus your Son. Amen.
