For Priests: God, please give to your Church today many more priests after your own heart. May they be worthy representatives of Christ the Good Shepherd. May they wholeheartedly devote themselves to prayer and penance; be examples of humility and poverty; shining models of holiness; tireless and powerful preachers of the Word of God; zealous dispensers of your grace in the sacraments. May their loving devotion to your Son Jesus in the Eucharist and to Mary his Mother be the twin fountains of fruitfulness for their ministry. Amen.

DIOCESAN PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS:
​Heavenly Father, we ask you to send labourers into your harvest. Inspire, in the hearts of your people, vocations to the priesthood, diaconate and religious life. Bless our families with a spirit of generosity, so that those whom you call have the courage to give themselves to your Church in faith. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

For the children of our parish:
Especially the Year 3 children, as they receive their First Holy Communion. May they be filled with joy and a deep love for Jesus in the Eucharist. We also pray for the Year 6 children preparing for Confirmation, that Your Holy Spirit will strengthen them in faith and courage, and bless all who support them on their journey.

FOR THE EASTER SEASON:
Risen Lord, deepen our trust in the hope of Your Resurrection. Strengthen our faith in times of doubt and fill us with the joy of new life. May we always live as witnesses to Your promise of victory over death. Amen,.

We pray for our parish family: 
​May the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist strengthen the bonds of love within our homes, drawing every family back to the Sunday Mass to be nourished at the Table of the Lord as one body in Christ. We ask this prayer through the example and intercession of the Holy Family of Nazareth. Amen

We pray for the children and families of our parish:
That in this new year they may grow in faith, hope, and love; that homes may be places of peace, patience, and forgiveness; and that God’s guiding presence may strengthen parents, protect children, and unite families in His grace.

Mary Mother of Jesus and Mother of the Church, pray for us.
