We
pray for all the sick in our parish
family, especially:

Duran, Dawn Hassinger, and Lory Manzano.
May
God bless them.

We are
called to be good stewards of our
personal vocations. St.
Paul’s prayer for the
Thessalonians is therefore ours,
too—“that our God may
make us worthy of his calling and
powerfully bring to fulfillment
every good purpose and every
effort of
faith.”
