Church of the Holy Family

Campaign Presentation

Lord God, Hear our humble prayer. Empower us with your

grace to faithfully live the mission entrusted to us by

Christ. Keep our hearts and minds fixed on Jesus so we

might continue the sacred work He began with self-

sacrificing generosity.

With the help of Mary, our Mother, may we bear witness to

the glory of God with great joy. Bless this campaign by

igniting a new enthusiasm for living our faith and fulfilling

our tremendous mission.

We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our hope, who lives

and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God forever

and ever. Amen
