Prayer Group
Please place your particular written intentions in the box
near the statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe, located in the
back of the church. The Intercessory Prayer Group will pray
over them during their meeting. The Prayer Group meets
every second and fourth Tuesday of the month at 7:30PM
in the Rectory basement. The next meeting is Tuesday,
April 28th.
The meetings are devoted to praise and thanksgiving,
praying, scripture sharing, recitation of the rosary,

Lord. All are welcome.
Reflections from our Holy Father Pope Francis
Let us invoke the intercession of Mary who is the Woman of the “yes”. Mary said “yes” throughout her life! She
learned to recognize Jesus’ voice from the time when she carried him in her womb. May Mary, our Mother, help us
to know Jesus’ voice better and better and to follow it, so as to walk on the path of life!
