Prayer Ministries

Prayer Circle

We are honored to be able to accept your prayer intentions. Prayer is a beautiful, as well as essential, way to ask for Our Lord’s help and blessings. Even when God doesn’t answer our prayers as we’d like, He gives us the grace to cope with our problems and tragedies better in any case. Don’t think that any request is too small. Our Lord Himself said “ask, and you shall receive” (John 16:24). Your requests become that much more powerful when others are praying for you as well. 

We have a new prayer ministry at St. Mary's. Please look for the wooden prayer box in the narthex of both Churches. Cards are provided to write down your prayer requests. Please note that we will not include specific full names for prayers, but will use either initials or first names, when placing someone on our prayer list. Once a prayer request has been made, it will be distributed to the email chain and remain on the list for 2-4 weeks. 

Also, it is a truly divine form of charity to pray for others, especially for those most in need! As this is a new endeavor, please contact us with suggestions and ideas for improvement.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Pray for our Troops Prayer List

Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands, protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need and give us peace. I ask this in the name of Jesus, Our Lord and Savior. Amen.
