CAMPAIGN PRAYER
Almighty and ever-living God, we thank you for your blessings in our life.
We praise you for your goodness and generosity.
Help us to live as stewards of your grace and love that through prayerful work and sacrifice we may bring your love to our families, parish, and community.
We humbly pray for strength and fortitude to follow your great commission: to go make disciples of all people, living our faith through word and deed.
Inspire in your people generous hearts to strengthen the mission of our parish,
to serve those in need, to support vocations, and to educate our children through the Love One Another Campaign. Guide us in this important campaign, watch over our efforts to help build your Kingdom here on Earth, and give us joy in serving
You and Your Church now and forever. Amen.

JOIN US IN PRAYING THE HOLY ROSARY
Saturday | October 15th | 12 Noon | St. Thomas Parking Lot
America Needs Fatima is a campaign to capture the heart and soul
of America with the Message of Our Lady of Fatima. In 1917,
Our Lady appeared at Fatima to three young seers with a message of warning and hope for humanity. If the world did not convert, there would
be much suffering, famine and war. To avert such disasters, Our Lady
asked for prayer, penance and other measures. She also promised,
"Finally, my Immaculate Heart will triumph."
