There are many ways that we pray, collectively on Sundays, individually or as families throughout the week and in groups such as our prayer circle.
In the past there was a sheet at the back of the church for people to add names of those in need of prayers which would be included in the Prayers of the People during the Sunday services. We are going to reinstitute that practice. This Sunday you will find a sheet at the back of the church, please feel free to add the name(s) of anyone you know in need of prayers. The sheet will be divided into 3 parts: Thanksgivings, illness/struggles and Deaths.
Please add the name and in the case of Thanksgivings perhaps the reason for the thanksgiving ie. A birth or new job.
There will also be a box at the back of the church with slips for you to fill out for ongoing prayers, this will be utilized by the Prayer Group in their daily prayers. If the need is great or ongoing, please fill out the slip and leave it in the box (this allows for anonymity).
Thank you and please continue to pray individually for those in need, our parish and the world.
