Pray the campaign prayer below, daily with your spouse, family or by yourself. Prayer is an essential part of undertaking a large parish project. We need to replace our temporary structures which we now use for our multi-purpose hall and faith formation programs and offices. We have been in these temporary buildings since 2001 and they are woefully inadequate and falling apart.

The picture on this page shows the parish office building on the left side and the parish hall straight ahead. The office is formed from two modular sections and the parish hall is made with seven modular sections. The large open space in the parish hall is very limiting to our activities because we cannot isolate the noise when there are more than one group using the hall.

This make educational programs very difficult. Due to the pandemic, we have not been using the hall much. However, when we get through this pandemic and we are ready to bring people back to a full parish life, we do not have much to offer for a successful, vibrant parish life. We need the prayers and support of all of our parishioners. Thank you for prayerfully considering your participation in this essential construction project. May God bless you and your family with abundant graces as you turn to him in prayer, trust and gratitude.

Our children, families and all parishioners need and deserve much better facilities.

Building the Future Together Campaign Prayer

Eternal Father, we ask you, through your Beloved Son,
and the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe
to pour forth your Holy Spirit upon our combined campaign.

May the light of Christ within each of us shine forth
as a beacon of hope drawing all of us closer to You and Your Church.

Consecrate us in truth and, according to your will,
accomplish your plans in us
to radiate the love and mercy of Jesus,
as exemplified by two great saints who visited our diocese,
Saint John Paul II and Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

Saint Joseph, pray for us.

Saint Clare of Assisi, pray for us.

Amen.
