SCRIPTURE  REFLECTION
Peter, rescued from the power of Herod, and Paul, protected from his enemies, proclaim with their lives that Jesus is the Messiah, the  Son of the living God.

HOLY HOUR FOR PRIESTS

Our Holy Hour will be suspended during the summer months of July and August. 

However, we invite you to spend this scheduled time with the Lord in a quiet spot at home for these intentions and for your personal requests.  It is an hour of prayer for the priests, DIVINE MERCY and religious men and women of the church.  Prayers are also said for an increase of vocations to the priesthood and religious life.  Pray for our priests and for all religious - help guide them through your prayers.
