    • Parish Prayer


       Thank you Lord for the recent rains.  Our parched land is drinking up the life water you have bestowed upon us.  We continue our prayers for continued rain to bring us out us this devestating drought.

      Prayer for Rain...

      O God, in Whom we live and move, and have our being, grant us rain, in due abundance, that, being sufficiently helped with temporal, we may the more confidently seek after eternal gifts. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
