There are several people preparing to become Catholic in our Parish. Lent is the most special time to keep them in your prayers and to offer penance for them.
Pray for Pope's Intentions for March
General: That the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation between individuals and peoples may be understood and that through her testimony the Church may spread Christ’s love, the source of new humanity.
Mission: That Christians persecuted because of the Gospel in various parts of the world and in various manners may be sustained by the strength of the Holy Spirit and continue to bear witness courageously and openly to the Word of God.
