Heavenly Father, thank-you for gathering
Us together at St. Mary Parish.
Send your Holy Spirit to guide us as we discern your will
For spiritual renewal and growth of our parish.
Give us strength, courage, wisdom and light
As we offer our gifts to you,
To develop a strong and vibrant parish.
Help us become flames of faith, hope and love,
In our families, in our communities
An in our work places.
May our community serve as a place of hope and healing,
A place of worship and spiritual growth;
A place of nourishment and support.
We pray that St. Mary be welcoming of
All who walk through our doors.
Amen.
Our Lady of La Salette, pray for us.
