Parish July Prayer Intention for an openness to the Spirit: 
​Lord Jesus, you are the Word who is Life. May the people of our parish, dedicated to your name,  grow in openness to the power of the Holy Spirit, so that through a growth in understanding and courage, and truly open to your call, we may bear powerful witness to the gospel in our community, for you are Lord forever and ever. Amen.

For respect for human life: ​Let us pray for the respect and protection of human life in all its stages, recognizing it as a gift from God.
