Prayer for our Parish

​
Heavenly Father,

You have chosen the parish as the vehicle
by which You encounter us in our daily lives.

The parish is the assembly
in which you Word is proclaimed,
Your Eucharist is celebrated,
your people are united in local community
so that they may become the agent of change
for a betterment of the whole church.

We pray that the family of St. Alphonsus Parish exists to continue the ministry of Jesus in the greater Henry County area.
​
​Through our Baptism,
may we share in Jesus' ministry to worship You, 
pass on the Good News,
and serve those in need,
all the while building a faith community that welcomes all people.

​Make each of us aware of
the many opportunities and responsibilities that are ours as witnesses of You to our community. 

Keep us open to our need
of your love and fellowship.

Help us all work together
to serve You and others.

We ask this in the name
of Jesus Christ our Lord.
​
Amen.
