Prayers Of The Faithful – January 1

For Pope Francis who exhorts us today to journey together, with all of humanity, valuing the lessons that history has to teach us.
We pray to the Lord.

For the leaders of our nation, province and city, that concern for the poor, homeless and powerless will inspire their choices and policies during the coming year.
We pray to the Lord.

For Bishop Christian and our Diocesan family of faith that we may learn from our Blessed Mother to humbly approach God in prayer with confidence in His goodness and gracious Providence.
We pray to the Lord.

For peace of mind, and for peace in our hearts, our homes and families, and places of work and study on this day of Peace.
We pray to the Lord.

For the poor, especially families, who look for relief from the burdens and challenges to family life and human life during the past year.
We pray to the Lord.

For any special needs you have brought here today and for the people you carry in your heart and in your memory.
We pray to the Lord.

For those who have died: Benedict XVI, Pope Emeritus, William Vaughan, Rose (McIntyre) McCarthy, Carolyn Carlin, John Phinney, Bernard Desmond, Jr., Nancy Saulnier, General Louis Cuppens; and for those we have lost during the past year and for those who mourn them.
We pray to the Lord.

Census

Reminder: All parishes across the diocese are participating in the “I Know My Sheep” census over the next month, when there is typically increased Mass attendance. The goal of the census is to update each parish database with current and accurate contact information for our parish families, to update the diocesan database, and to prepare for a planning study to test a potential diocesan wide capital campaign in 2023. Having updated information will also give our parishes a better idea of who is in our parish and hopefully improve communication. Every weekend until January 15, you will see census cards in the pews. We are asking each family to take just a couple of minutes to complete a card. These can be returned by placing them in the offertory basket, dropping them off at the parish office or sending them by mail. Thank you for your cooperation in this important effort.
