St. Mary Parish will continue to pray for the requests of the members of the community. Feel free to open the document below to pray for specific intentions prishioners have submitted. If you have an intention you would like to submit, please use the short web form below.

O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey
as a sign of salvation and hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick.
At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus’ pain,
with steadfast faith.
You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need.
We are certain that you will provide, so that,
as you did at Cana of Galilee,
joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform ourselves to the Father’s will
and to do what Jesus tells us:
He who took our sufferings upon Himself, 
and bore our sorrows to bring us,
through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection.
Amen.

We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God.
Do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the test – and deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.

Create a Home Altar/Prayer Table:

Catholic families are called to be the "domestic church." Keep reminders of our faith in front of your family to foster prayer at home. All you need is a surface (table, shelf, mantle, desk, section of china cabinet) and some religious items to place on top (cross, rosary, Bible, candle, picture of a favorite saint, religious books, paper for your family to write prayer intentions and a bowl to put them in, a purple cloth for Lent, etc.)
