our faith on life’s journey, with our family
of faith and local communities throughout all stages of life; leading all to Christ’s Kingdom.
With the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the
intercession of Saint John the Baptist may we strive to become evangelizers, leaders and stewards of Christ with a desire to
grow in our physical and spiritual relationship
with God.

Please remember in your prayers all whose who are suffering and in need of healing. May God bring peace and healing of mind and body to all those in need of His mercy. Also, remember in your prayers all those who have died and their grieving families. May God grant them the fullness of life and love in Heaven.
Dearest Heavenly Father, I want to thank you for the precious gift of love
you have given to the world and to me. Thank you for blessing me every
day with this love and the power and strength that I get from you every
single day. Without your love for me I can't be, I can't function, I can't
even breathe, because I NEED your love to sustain me. It's like food and
medicine for my soul Lord. Please continue to let me feel your
comforting love in my life and Lord I give myself over to you to perfect in
me this gift of love, that I may be able to express it and share it with
others. Lord, I have not always been good at this, forgive me. Lord, some
people are harder to love than others, but I want to be like your Son
Jesus, so please continue the work you are doing in my heart so my heart
will be like yours. In Jesus name I pray.
St. Valentine…..pray for us
Saints Cyril & Methodius….pray for us
