Diocesan Ministry Appeal
On the eve of his Passion, Jesus prayed not only for his disciples, but for the unity of all who will follow him. We are called to live this unity today in belief and in action. One important way we express this shared mission is through the Diocesan Ministry Appeal, which brings our individual efforts together to support the broader work of the Church. Please prayerfully consider joining this shared mission with your support.
Prayer Intention
As we pray together each day at 3pm, please join us in praying for the Salesian Sisters.
