LET US PRAY
Feast Day: Healing & Prayer Service Recap
Last Sunday, Sept 12th, was a beautiful afternoon and perfect weather for a picnic. Out of abundant precaution, we did not have the annual feast day picnic, but instead had an interactive healing & prayer service.
A couple dozen parishioners, gathered for a time of shared intercessory prayer and reflection on the losses and blessings over the past 16 months of pandemic.
The prayer intentions collected were placed in a basket at the foot of our great intercessor, St. Joseph. Feel free to add YOUR prayer intentions to the basket as they arise. You will find prayer intension cards at the altar rail in front of St. Joseph, for your convenience.
