Thank
you for your
continued
support!
|
|
We
pray for all the sick in our parish
family, especially:
Jack Devine, John Duran, Dawn Hassinger,
and Lory Manzano.
May
God bless them .
We pray for the soul of Dolton
Delahoussaye who died on November 5th.
May the perpetual light shine upon him.
|
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.”
