  • For those listed in the bulletin, who are in need of our prayers.
  • For the intentions of those who have asked you to pray for them… but you keep forgetting.
  • For an increase in the Sunday Offering… lower donations over the summer has left our funds more than a wee bit low.
  • For our Capital Campaign: Bold Faith. Bold City
  • Do you need the parish community to pray for your intentions?

  • Many can’t give financially. Don’t feel bad. Do pray for our needs.
  • Few can give to everything. Don’t feel bad. Do give as the Holy Spirit leads you.​

And in this corner…

Father Blair returned from his personal pilgrimage and attendance at the 3rd International Congress on Catechesis
Thank you for your prayers while I was away!

You may not know that this December I will celebrate 10 years of service to the people of God as a Priest of Jesus Christ.  This year I chose to do a 10 day personal pilgrimage in Italy, a day for each year of ordination.  The time of prayer and thanksgiving included the celebration of Mass at the Altar of the Chair of St. Peter in St. Peter's Cathedral on the 9th day, and as the Congress came to a close on the 10th day - we had an audience with and blessing from the Holy Father.

During the personal pilgrimage I chose to spend time in Orvieto, where the Eucharistic Miracle which gave rise to the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ, is kept.  While there, I was able to visit the Cathedral where I prayed in thanksgiving for my vocation, and to visit many other Churches in which I prayed for the parish and the intentions of our parishioners.

I then went on to Santa Maria d'engli Angeli / Assisi, where I spent a few days praying especially for the intentions of Students, family and friends, as well as my own.  I was very blessed to stay very close to the Cathedral in which is found the cell of St. Francis where he died, and the Porziuncula.  As well, I was able to pray in the Church that was built over his birth place and at his tomb.  It was also a special blessing to pray before the body of Blessed Carlo Acutis.

While in Rome I was able to continue the journey and to pray for the souls of family and parishioners in purgatory, the people of Rome and the Universal Church.  I am very thankful to have had this time of prayer and reflection and to be able to offer to God my gratitude for the many blessings, challenges and surprises of these last 10 years.  I look forward with joy and eager anticipation to the next 10 years!
