Ministry of Prayer and Praise Intentions for March For our parish family, that the graces of this Lenten season will sanctify and
renew all of us and bring back to the family those who have gone astray.
For the chronically ill, the unemployed, and the hopeless, that they may find in
Christ and our cheerful assistance the hope they need to sustain them in their
troubles.
For those who suffer from addiction, that they may be consoled by Christ’s
abundant concern for them and their welfare.
For those preparing to enter the Church at Easter: that these final weeks of their preparation will be blessed in every way.
For all those who will be traveling over spring break, that their trip may be safe
and that they come back feeling refreshed and renewed.

St. Louis Parish - Marian Year Prayer
Loving Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of
the World, we your children, the members of St. Louis
Parish, come before you seeking your intercession as
we honor you this year and as we prepare to
consecrate our parish to you and your motherly care.
We ask you to intercede with God our Almighty Father
to look upon us with mercy and to forgive our many
sins against Him and our neighbors.
We ask you to intercede with your Most Holy Son to fill
us with a spirit of repentance and reconciliation so that
we may be ready to consecrate our parish to you in
purity of spirit.
We ask you to intercede with the Holy Spirit of God to
purify and sanctify us as He purified and sanctified you
throughout your entire life on earth from your holy and
immaculate conception through your most glorious
assumption into heaven.
Finally, Most Holy Mother of God, we ask for your
motherly love and care in our lives and in our parish,
that we may consecrate ourselves to you. Amen.
