The Most Holy Trinity

BISHOP DAVID J. WALKOWIAK ASKS US TO PRAY FOR OUR SEMINARIANS

Loving God, raise up dedicated leaders who will shepherd your people and guide them to your Son. Give generous and willing hearts to the seminarians of our Diocese who have heard your call to live a life of service to the Church. Help us to encourage and support them as they strive to become priests who are models of discipleship, possessors of wisdom and on fire with love for your people. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

We especially pray for: Luke Mulderink

Learn how the sacraments are an unfolding of that plan and how they are foreshadowed in the events of the Old Testament. Learn about the deeper mystery of the sacra-ments, the incredible “powers that come forth from the Body of Christ” (CCC 1116). Tuesdays, thru June 19, 7:00-8:00 St. Mary’s Community Room. Free. No registration required.
