For more urgent prayer needs (illness, surgery, etc.) there is a Prayer Chain that will get dozens of people praying immediately. To begin the Prayer Chain, please call one of the following: Janice Werner, ; Erma Hartman, ; or Viola Fullenkamp, Ministry of Prayer and Praise Intentions for March For our parish family, that the graces of this Lenten season will sanctify and renew all of us and bring back to the family those who have gone astray. For the chronically ill, the unemployed, and the hopeless, that they may find in Christ and our cheerful assistance the hope they need to sustain them in their troubles. For those who suffer from addiction, that they may be consoled by Christ s abundant concern for them and their welfare. For those preparing to enter the Church at Easter: that these final weeks of their preparation will be blessed in every way. For all those who will be traveling over spring break, that their trip may be safe and that they come back feeling refreshed and renewed.
