Good Morning,

This is a prayer request for Fr. Tom. On Monday, November 1st, eight days from today, he is meeting with Cardinal Cupich . We know he is in our prayers but we are asking for an Octave of prayers for both of them and a successful meeting.

As you know November 1st is the Feast of All Saints. In addition it is the anniversary of Pope St. John Paul's ordination to the priesthood. (trivia....did you know Fr. Tom was ordained in 1985 on St. John Paul's birthday?!) We honor St. John Paul in a special way at St. James so here  are two suggested Novenas.

The first is a link to the Church's Litany of the Saints appropriate to the Feast and the attachment is as shorter prayer to St. John Paul.

Please pray one of these or prayers of your own in the days leading up to this meeting.
Thank you,
Jim  Coughlin
