Please drop by parish office and register with us! We would like to meet you.

PRAYER FOR THE SYNOD  ON SYNODALITY_

We stand before you, Holy Spirit,  conscious of our sinfulness,

but aware that we gather in your name.

 Come to us, remain with us,  and enlighten our hearts. 

Give us light and strength to know your will,  to make it our own, and to live it in our lives.

 Guide us by your wisdom, 

support us by your power, for you are God,  sharing the glory of Father and Son.

 You desire justice for all:  enable us to uphold the rights of others;

do not allow us to be misled  by ignorance or corrupted by fear or favor.

 Unite us to yourself in the bond of love  and keep us faithful to all that is true.

 As we gather in your name  may we temper justice with love,

so that all our decisions may be pleasing to you,  and earn the reward 

promised to good and faithful servants.

 You live and reign with the Father and the Son,  God, for ever and ever.
