To begin the Prayer Chain, please call one of the following: Janice Werner, ; or Erma Hartman, Ministry of Prayer and Praise Intentions for January For the Holy Father and all priests, that the Lord will make them zealous and uncompromising preachers and teachers of the truth. That the prayers offered for Vocations will result in an increase in vocations to the priesthood and the religious life, and that young men and women may always seek and discern God s will. That all those who are suffering distress after the holidays and during the winter months may not despair but rather may turn to Jesus for healing, courage, and perseverance. For Catholic schools as we celebrate Catholic Schools Week, that they may continue to form our children in the fullness of Christ s truth and respond to the challenge of secularism with a clear presentation of Catholic doctrine and moral values. For blessings on all those participating in the March for Life, that those who witness to the light of Christ will convert those who walk in the darkness of the culture of death. For the protection of Life, Marriage and Religious Liberty.
