Vocations Chalice
This weekend, the Skinner Family will take the Vocations Chalice home. They will place the Chalice on their table and pray the Vocations Prayer with the Chalice every day and return it next weekend.
Would your family like a chance to take the Vocations Chalice home for a week? A sign-up sheet is available on the Welcome Table in the Gathering Area.
Please help pray the Vocations Prayer that is prayed with the Chalice.
The Prayer for Vocations
Heavenly Father, Bless your church with an abundance of holy and zealous priests, deacons, brothers and sisters. Give those you have called to the married state and those you have chosen to live as single persons in the world, the special graces that their lives require. Help those who have embraced the consecrated life to live up to their promises. Form us all in the likeness of your Son so that in Him, with Him and through Him we may love you more deeply and serve you more faithfully, always and everywhere. With Mary we ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Parish Fasting
For the Life and Healing of the Parish, Father Gaul has asked us to
Fast each Wednesday of the week. Please remember that you can do a full fast, a partial fast or other type of self-denial.
Parish Growth
Have you participated in the Parish Fast? Are you planning to participate in the Parish Fast? Help the parish grow by inviting someone you know who has fallen away from the church to come to Mass with you one weekend. Or invite someone new who is not Catholic. God is always calling new people to him and asking us to live out our baptismal call. What better time since we hear so much negative publicity about God and church? We might not be able to bring God and prayer back into school and our government, but we can bring people into the church.

Prayer for Our Parish
Heavenly Father,
You have chosen the parish as a place where you encounter us in our daily lives.
The parish is the assembly in which your Word is proclaimed, your Eucharist is celebrated, your people are united in a local community, and gathered into various ministries, so that they may become the agent of change for the renewal of the whole Church.
Make our Parishioners aware of the many opportunities and responsibilities that are theirs to grow as disciples of Jesus and as witnesses of you to our friends and neighbors.
Keep us open to our need of your love and fellowship. Let both clergy and laity work together in harmony to serve you in others. We fervently ask this in Jesus' name.
Amen
