A Prayer for Our Parish

May the truth of the gospel teaching that each of us is loved unconditionally by God sink into the hearts of all parishioners and bring joy and peace into their lives.

May all in our parish know that they belong and experience the support of true Christian community; may all, whatever their situation, feel included and appreciated for who they are.

May the Eucharist we celebrate together be the source and the summit of our Christian lives, nourishing us on our spiritual path, healing us in our st ruggles, challenging us in our daily living and a real celebration of Christ living among us.
