This is the prayer we’ve prayed at the end of each Mass for a year.  We now entrust it to you, please add it to your prayer collections for the days to come and continue to pray for our parish family, for health and safety, for unity and peace: 

We praise and thank you for the life of grace received by our parish community, Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception, over the past 150 years.

We are grateful for the faith and courage of those who built this parish community and those who have led your people into union with you.

We ask today that you strengthen us as the Body of Christ, your people dedicated to the spread of the Gospel, and witnesses to your truth and love.

Guide us as we seek to do your will now and throughout the years to come. May we grow in fidelity to your Word and charity to all our brothers and sisters. Bless our families with holiness and peace.

We offer this prayer for your praise and glory as we say: Glory to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever.

Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception, pray for your children who are dedicated to you for all eternity.   Amen.
