Prayer Chain
"Intercession is a prayer of petition which leads us to pray as Jesus did. He is the one intercessor with the Father on behalf of all men, especially sinners. He is 'able for all time to save those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.' The Holy Spirit 'himself intercedes for us... and intercedes for the saints according to the will of God'" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, para. 2634).
"Since Abraham, intercession - asking on behalf of another - has been characteristic of a heart attuned to God's mercy. In the age of the Church, Christian intercession participates in Christ's, as an expression of the communion of saints. In intercession, he who prays looks 'not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others,' even to the point of praying for those who do him harm" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, para. 2635).
The prayer chain is composed of many humble souls of the parish who offer up intercessory prayer for those in need. To become a member of the prayer chain or to request prayers for a particular intention, please contact the parish office.

"We have put our hope in Him who will never cease to deliver us. But you must help us with your prayers, so that on our behalf God may be thanked for the gift granted us through the prayers of so many" (2 Corinthinans 1:10-11).
