PARISH MISSION
This weekend we extend a warm welcome to Fr. Tom Ryan, who will conduct our Parish Mini Mission. We hope and pray that his stay among us will be happy and fruitful. As mentioned last week, we wrote to all the contemplative orders in the country (25) asking their prayers. We have received many letters from the Orders assuring us of their prayers for you all, and for Fr. Tom, at this special time of Mission.

Mission Prayer
God our loving Father
who made us your children in baptism
pour out on us afresh the gifts of your
Holy Spirit, during the Mission.
Open our ears to hear your Word,
open our hearts to hear you in prayer,
that we may receive with ever deeper
faith the Bread of Life.
Strengthened through these gifts
make us signs of your presence
to the world of today.
Father, hear our humble prayer
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
