OUR DAILY PRAYER FOR THE PARISH
Almighty and Eternal God, who enlightens and strengthens us with the Word of Your beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, we ask you to protect our families, our youth and our children and all who are ill, so that we may serve you with faith and enthusiasm each day of our lives.
We ask you to send your Holy Spirit to our hearts, pouring out on us the gift of announcing with courage what we learn in the Eucharist, and live it in faith, following the footsteps of our Mother the Holy Virgin Mary. We ask this through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen
Mary Immaculate, Pray for us St John Southworth, Pray for us
