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 April are:

 

General Intention: That the Church may offer new generations, through the believable proclamation of the Gospel, ever-new reasons of life and hope.

Missionary Intention: That missionaries, with the proclamation of the Gospel and their witness of life, may bring Christ to all those who do not yet know Him.

 

Department of Family Catechesis Intentions:            

                                                            

We ask for the Lord’s blessing and provision for those who were most affected by the recent restructuring, and those throughout the church who are currently effected by the current economic downturn.
