Prayers for Special Intentions
If you wish to request a special prayer for someone who is sick, has a chronic ailment, going to have surgery, or has a special intention that needs prayer, please contact Fr. Joe at the parish office 438-9941.
For confidentiality reasons, the person, a family member, or a guardian must make the name request. Request for prayer can be for anyone, not just parishioners. We will publish names only—not the reason for the prayer—in the bulletin.
