Announcements/Prayer Intentions

 

If you have any special prayer intentions, please share them with us so we can ask other leaders to pray for them.

 

The Pope’s intentions for October are:          


Catholic Universities
General:  That Catholic Universities may more and more be places where, in the light of the Gospel, it is possible to experience the harmonious unity existing between faith and reason.

World Mission Day
Missionary: That the World Mission Day may afford an occasion for understanding that the task of proclaiming Christ is an absolutely necessary service to which the Church is called for the benefit of humanity.
