For courage and steadfastness in holding to our gospel values whenever they are challenged …

For the safety and security of all those who are suffering as a result of Hurricane Harvey…for all those who make sacrifices to help these victims: the first responders risking their lives as well as everyday heroes… For the protection and safety of all those who are still in danger or missing … and for all who seek the comfort of God’s healing word; and for the intentions in our parish book ...We pray.
