Heavenly Father, we thank you for the many blessings you have bestowed on our parish.
By your grace, St. Joseph is truly, "where we are family."
We thank you for the gifts, talents, and treasures you have given us and we pray that You
will help us use these gifts to honor and serve You by serving one another.
Send your Holy Spirit upon us to guide us as we try to do your will by building and expanding
Your presence in our community.
As we seek to build, keep us ever mindful of our true home in heaven and let our efforts
here below glorify You and bring others closer to You.
May Your wisdom and grace go before us as we continue to work on fulfilling our mission.
We ask all this in the name of Jesus, Your Son. Amen.
