Thank you!
 

God of tender love and life,
You compared your love for humanity
To the love a mother has for her own child.

You are the Lord and Giver of Life,
And you knit each of us together
In our mother’s womb.

You provide for the world
The example of Mary, your own mother,
Who said yes to life amid her confusion and surprise.

We thank you, then, for our mothers.
Though human, they are also a reflection of you, Lord God.
They are your gift to us.

We pray for all mothers today.
May they realize the greatness of their vocation
And have the strength to live it without fear.
Forgive their sins, and keep their eyes raised up to you.

To those who still make this earthly journey with us,
Give us the grace to love them as we should;
And to those whom you have called from this life,
Give a special place of honor in your Kingdom of endless life.

We pray through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

We are now  taking Mass intentions for 2021 over the phone or parish office during opening hours. 

One of the greatest acts of charity is to pray for the living and the dead.  The greatest and most powerful prayer we have is the Mass, since the fruits of the Mass are the very fruits of Jesus' redemption.   For that reason, all are encouraged to have Mass offered for loved ones who have died, or even for the living who have some need.   This is an ancient Catholic practice, and all are encouraged to take it up.
A Mass intention may be requested for a Mass for: a deceased loved one; a living person who is sick or suffering; a living person who is celebrating a birthday, anniversary or other special moment in their life; in thanksgiving to God (including the Lord Jesus or the Holy Spirit); in thanksgiving for a prayer from a Blessed or a Saint; or for a prayer intention (so long as the intention does not contradict Church teaching).

 
Requests will be honored on a first-come, first serve basis in the order in which the request is received at the Parish Office.
