Parish Ministries and Groups
As a parish community, we depend on prayer
to guide decisions, strengthen parish bonds and comfort those in need. A daily commitment to pray for the intentions of the parish is a faith-filled ministry. Members may choose to be active in the parish prayer chain and be given specific intentions.
