A BIG “Thank You” from American Martyrs to the

Knights of Columbus

We’d like to express our deep appreciation to the Knights of Columbus who donated $15,000 to our church from this year’s Lenten Fish Fry. The success of this event couldn’t have been accomplished without the support of all those who worked, donated baked goods, or who came

out to eat.

INTERCESSION PRAYERS

With confidence in God’s love and mercy, let us bring before him our prayers and petitions.

 

       1.  For the Church: that we may grow in our awareness of to whom we belong and live the mission of Christ as God's called and chosen people.

 

        2. For a deeper experience of God’s love: that we may know that we are unconditionally loved by God just as we are today amid our relationships, our work, and our struggles.

 

      3. For more laborers for God’s vineyard: that God will touch the hearts of many to share in the ministries of teaching, healing, community building, and assistance to those in need.

 

4. For the Special Intentions of: Pope Leo XIV,

      Archbishop Thompson, and Father Brian.

 

5. For the healing all who are sick. Including Brian Barger, & Pam Hundley. That God will answer all prayer requests & help all who are sick.

 

       6. For all who have died and for all Mass intentions this weekend:             Joe & Clara Pruitt, Kenny Boswell, & Don Boswell. May they share in the resurrection.

 

 

Heavenly Father, in confidence we bring before you, our petitions. In your love and mercy please answer them according to your will, we ask through your Son, Christ our Lord.
