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 June are:  


General:  Respect for Human Life That every national and transnational institution may strive to guarantee respect for human life from conception to natural death.

Missionary: The Churches in Asia That the Churches in Asia, which constitute a “little flock” among non-Christian populations, may know how to communicate the Gospel and give joyful witness to their adherence to Christ.
