Prayer Teams
Jesus said that when two or more people are gathered in my name, I am with you. With that in mind, we have an exciting opportunity to have prayer teams consisting of two or more people available for individual prayers the first Saturday of each month after the 5 pm Mass at St. Patrick Church. They will privately pray with you for healing, special requests, prayers for other people, etc.
If you want to invite someone to come for these special prayers, please invite them to come on August 1st. This is an awesome opportunity to continue Christ’s mission to pray for the sick and for those in
need of Special prayers.

Daily Prayer of the Month (July)
Heavenly Father,
We thank you for your continued blessings and guarding of our country as you have over its previous 250 years and pray for your guidance on our politicians as we celebrate the 4th of July. May they seek your will in promoting the good of the country. We ask your enlightenment on those who promote abortion and your wisdom upon those working to eradicate disease. We implore you for an end to war and for those affected by war. May we continue the evangelism efforts of Apostles Sts. Thomas and James by our example in the way we live and treat others. We ask these in the name of Jesus
and his Most Precious Blood
Amen
