Please join us in praying for the following specific intentions in connection with St. Catherine of Siena striving to become a parish "Centered on Christ, Ablaze with Love."

OCTOBER 2020 INTENTIONS

While we were spared damage from the storms of September, we were blessed to assist in various meaningful ways those who were impacted.  “For as in one body we have many parts, and all the parts do not have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ.”  Rom 12:4-5.  We are blessed to have so many varied opportunities to live out being Centered on Christ and Ablaze with Love in our parish!  

Thank you for remaining faithful to intercessory prayer for SCS parish and community!  Please say the St. Catherine Prayer daily in October for the following intentions:

*For the participants in the Alpha 6 retreat, that through the Holy Spirit they may have a life-changing experience of God’s love that leads them to a deeper relationship with Jesus.

*For the young adults attending the Formation Study this month, that they may learn to recognize the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives.

*For married couples, especially those who are struggling, that the graces inherent in the Sacrament of Matrimony strengthen them to persevere and overcome challenges.

*For the SCS Helping Hands ministry, that God may repay the volunteers with abundant graces for their work as the hands and feet of Jesus, and that our brothers and sisters who are recipients of the services offered may experience the love of Jesus through the ministry’s efforts.

*For an end to racism, for the November elections, and for peace and healing in our country.

*For all those suffering physically, psychologically, emotionally, or financially from the COVID-19 pandemic, especially the elderly, that they may find complete healing, peace and hope, and that they may see the love of Jesus in and through the SCS community; and for prudence for those in leadership.

*For the priests, deacons, staff and ministry leaders at SCS, that they may work to develop cultures of prayer, teamwork, and true discipleship in our parish, and that they are protected in their work; for Dcn. Andrew Sanchez as he returns to the seminary to complete his preparation for ordination to the priesthood; and for Fr. Ronnie, that he may be filled with Christ's grace and peace.

NOVEMBER 2020 INTENTIONS

We were able to slip the Alpha retreat in between storm threats in October, and many experienced a new encounter with Jesus through the Holy Spirit. We are grateful that restrictions have eased and our church is more full for Mass!  We stand in trust and faith that God is faithful, and there is reason for hope!  1 Peter 3:15.
