Prayer Intentions

  • In this season of Advent as we eagerly anticipate the birth of Jesus, we pray:

    • that we discover how Jesus calls us to be a united community showing love, gentleness and patience at all times and particularly for the continued success of the Community Kitchen
    • for all those who generously give of their time to support those experiencing considerable upheaval in their lives
    • in this Jubilee Year that everyone in our community feels sought after, loved and forgiven by God
    • in this special time may we reach out to our sick, elderly and lonely as our witness of Christ’s love
    • that we guard against excessive distraction, busyness and stress so that when the Infant Jesus arrives, He may find a serene and peaceful dwelling place in our hearts
    • for our parish HSC students and their future pathways
    • that our school and parish families will have a peaceful, safe and joy-filled Christmas and holiday period.

    May God’s love envelop you and your families and may His Holy Blessings and Peace be with you all.
