Prayer and Pastoral Plan

Prayer Companions 

This Sunday we will be launching a project for the Year of Faith in our own parish: A Ministry of Prayer! The Pastoral Team firmly believe that prayer is transformative.  Intentional prayer that lifts up people and ministries of service to the Lord, without telling God what to do, can transform us and the people involved in those ministries.
We are inviting parishioners to choose 1 or 2 ministries and pray in a deliberate (but non directive) way 3 times per day: Morning, Noon, & Night.  We have composed prayers for each of these ministries, and a post card that you can keep close - in a car, purse, or pocket. There are more than 14 different ministries / groups to pray for. More details in the Homily this Sunday!


Also this Sunday the Pastoral Plan of the Archdiocese is being circulated.  You might remember that back in the Fall, Cardinal Collins circulated a letter about the idea of, and the work that was happening, on the Pastoral Plan.  You can read more about it by clicking on the image above.  There is a printed copy being inserted in each bulletin this Sunday.
Peace
