This collection is a unique, global effort for the entire Church to provide for the building up of over one thousand local churches in Asia and Africa, the Pacific Islands, and parts of Latin America and Europe. Through the work of these churches, and their witness to Christ, many receive practical help and experience God s love and mercy, His hope and peace. Please give generously. Back from the Dead Cemetery Walk, sponsored by the St. Cloud Homeschool group will take place Oct. 26th and Nov. 2nd at Assumption Cemetery on Roosevelt Rd from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Participants will encounter martyrs, saints and others. (Recommended for ages 14 and up) cemeterywalks.cloud@gmail.com Prayer for Priests By St. John Vianney God, please give to your Church today many more priests after your own heart. May they be worthy representatives of Christ the Good Shepherd. May they whole heartedly devote themselves to prayer and penance; be examples of humility and poverty; shining models of holiness; tireless and powerful preachers of the Word of God; zealous dispensers of your grace in the sacraments. May their loving devotion to your Son Jesus in the Eucharist and to Mary his Mother be the twin fountains of fruitfulness for their ministry.
