1st Anniversary Mass
One Year
Since We Lost You
We thought of you with love today but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday and days before that too. We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name. All we have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake with which we’ll never part. God has you in his keeping, We have you in our heart.
Mass will be celebrated Saturday August 12 at 5:00 pm at Immaculate Conception Church in Rio Grande City

Lord Jesus, I come before you, just as I am. I am sorry for my sins, I repent of my sins, please forgive me. In your name I forgive all others for what they have done against me. I renounce satan, the evil spirits and all their works. I give you my entire self, Lord Jesus, now and forever. I invite you into my life Jesus, I accept you as my Lord, God and Saviour. Heal me, change me, strengthen me in body, soul and spirit. (Make your petition) Come Lord Jesus, cover me with your precious blood, and fill me with your Holy Spirit. I love you Lord Jesus, I praise you Jesus. I thank you Jesus. I shall follow you every day of my life. Amen. Mary my Mother, Queen of Peace, all the Angels and Saints please help me. Amen.
