Prayer for the Diocese

Prayer for the Diocese

 
Let's put ourselves into the hands of the Lord, and pray that God will bless us, our families, our parishes, and our diocese during the wonderful months of summer. May we all help make our community a place of relaxation, joy, love, peace and safety. May we be generous and considerate, not thinking only about ourselves, but helping others enjoy the blessings of summertime. Lord God, Creator of all things, guide our steps and strengthen our hearts, during these months of summer and vacation days. Grant us refreshment of mind and body. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
 

Prayer for Camp 2025

As we prepare for this year's TASTE Camp let's thank God for all that he is going to do!  We thank him for every adult, youth, and child that will be attending the camp.  We also thank Him for the opportunity to serve with our brothers and sisters in Christ, ministering to each other and sharing God's love for us with others.  In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
