A Word of Gratitude

Dear Parishioners and Visitors,

Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these (Luke 12:27).

Many thanks to our parishioners, Pam and Mike, for tending the church’s front gardens and the water fountain, and a special word of gratitude to our favorite “two skiers,” who work all summer long to beautify the triangular gardens on the periphery of the church parking lot!  Our gardeners add to the wide array of God’s bountiful beauty in the White Mountains!

Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable time over these next and final few weeks of the summer,

Fr. John Mahoney

Prayer for Priests

Gracious and loving God, we thank you for the gift of our Priests.

Through them, we experience your presence in the sacraments.
Help our priests to be strong in their vocation.  Set their souls on fire with love for your people.

Grant them the wisdom, understanding, and strength they need to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.  Inspire them with the vision of your Kingdom

Give them the words they need to spread the Gospel.
Allow them to experience joy in their ministry.
Help them to become instruments of your divine grace.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns as our Eternal Priest.

Amen.
