and in name, while standing in prayer with your hands raised to Heaven, you yielded your spirit into the hands of your Creator. Protect us as we approach this great Solemnity commemorating your holy death. Intercede for us that personally and as a parish we may grow in holiness and unity by preferring nothing to Christ, that the Lord would call many men and women from our parish to serve Him through the priesthood and the consecrated life, and that God may hear our own personal intentions. Fulfill your promise to defend us against the snares of the enemy, now and in the last struggle of death, as we daily remind you of your glorious Pictured from left departure and heavenly joys. By your holy blessing, Front row: Anthony Wurtz, Carl Sargent, Miles DuLac, protect us this day and every day that we may never Bohdan Korbelik. be separated from our blessed Lord, from your company and the company of all the blessed.
