Prayer Requests The page 3 listing of those for whom we have been asked to pray is in need of reorganization. Please call or email the parish office if the name of a sick or recovering person should be retained. Otherwise we’ll presume that through the grace of God they’ve been returned to full health. Our homebound, nursing home residents, and military personnel will remain unless we are otherwise notified.
