Prayer Requests and Personal Petition

Thank you for the opportunity to pray with you and for you. Our parish family will join you in prayer by praying for your request or intention in our daily prayer as added to our prayer wall.  

When you send your prayer request, your request will be added to our prayer wall and shared will also be shared with a trusted group of parishioners among our parish family. They join in this special ministry of prayer and petition. Each member of our parish prayer group will receive your prayer request or personal petition and will add your prayers and petitions to theirs.

• Each submission will be moderated before it is posted, so there may be a short delay before the request is public.
• When sending an online prayer request, please know that this is not intended for urgent requests. 

Examples of Prayer Requests and Personal Petitions 

Pray for:

+ Tom S preparing for surgery
+ Mark H who is without a job that he finds employment soon
+ a couple trying to conceive that they have patience and faith
+ my sister to have the courage to come to Easter Dinner with us
+ pray for Jane A who is going through a divorce
+ pray for a child who is transiting back to his home after time in foster care

When making a prayer request, to maintain a high level of confidentiality it is strongly suggested that you only use the first name and last initial of an individual, friend or family member.  In doing this the spiritual care and privacy of others can remain as a priority. Each person is entitled to the privacy they deserve when experiencing medical care, physical healing, a personal or emotional crisis or in a time of spiritual need or personal distress.  

We are called to share in the perpetual gift of prayer and petition for the needs of others, particularly for our brothers and sisters, who for whatever reason are unable or unwilling to pray for themselves because of their state of life or due to a lack of faith or in a time of spiritual doubt.  We pray for others so that this indispensable ministry of charity may persevere “to bring good news to the poor, to heal the contrite of heart (Luke 4:18)."

Please note that your prayer request will not be added to the prayer wall and prayer and petition listing found in the weekly parish bulletin, One Family In Faith, unless you specifically request this by selecting the box located at the end of this page.

Act of Faith

O my God, I firmly believe that Thou art one God, in three Divine Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost; I believe that Thy Divine Son became man and died for our sins and that He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the holy Catholic Church teaches, because Thou hast revealed them, Who canst neither deceive nor be deceived.

Act of Hope

O My God, relying on Thy infinite goodness and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Thy grace and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer.

Act of Love

O my God, I love Thee above all things with my whole heart and soul, because Thou art all good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbor as myself for love of Thee. I forgive all who have injured me, and I ask pardon for all whom I have injured.

Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God.  

Philippians 4:6
