Our Diocese observes FaithWorks Sunday

on 24 November

- The Reign of Christ -


Our Diocese observes FaithWorks Sunday this Sunday. It is an important reminder of the good works we offer together as a Diocese through FaithWorks.


But the works of faith that FaithWorks supports continue every day of the year. The need for food and shelter, safety and guidance, friendship and community continue every day of the year. The need is great and growing.


Let FaithWorks Sunday remind us to support FaithWorks generously and wholeheartedly at this time and throughout the year. Have you considered a pre-authorized monthly donation?


Donations can be made through your parish, online at faithworks.ca or using the QR code. During the postal strike please consider these alternatives if your donation is usually sent by mail.

Prayer for FaithWorks Sunday

- The Reign of Christ -

 

Today we celebrate that Divinity arose among us in Jesus, lives within us, and sees us daily in the lives of those who call out for assistance.

 

We pray for all those who work within the FaithWorks family of support. We pray that our gratitude for their work may enrich their lives and sustain their energies for the great work that they are called to do. 

 

We pray for all those whom they assist that their lives may be renewed for full participation in the human family. 

 

We pray for the success of the FaithWorks fundraising campaign that we, too, may be given a chance to be those hands that do the work of saving lives and offering hope for so many. Help us to be as generous as possible, especially in this time when we are made aware of what it is to be alone, in need, and fearful of the future.

 

May the eyes of our hearts be always open to the full humanity of all.

 

Almighty, God, we pray this in the name of Jesus Christ who is alive with You and the Holy Spirit, today and forever.

 

Amen.
