Envelopes will be in the pews this weekend, Dec 11/12, and next weekend. Please use the envelopes and drop them in the regular collection.

Please pray for vocations. Our school prays this prayer at their Masses

Ever-faithful God,
You have called us through our baptism to continue your Son Jesus' mission on earth.
Open us to listen to your call and give us the courage to live out the gospel message in our lives
Inspire women and men to follow the path of service as priests, deacons, religious brotheres and sisters, lay ministers, and in married and single life so that together we may build up the church as a living sign of your presencein our world. 
We offer this prayer in the name of your Son, Jesus. Amen
