Prayer For Our Merger of - Sacred Heart, Our Lady of the Lakes, and St. Joseph Parishes
Heavenly Father, we pray for the merger between Sacred Heart, Our Lady of the Lakes and St. Joseph parishes. We ask that the Holy Spirit come forth to make this an opportunity for spiritual growth and renewal for all. May we receive your grace to unite and become one, vibrant parish.
We pray that our hearts become open to unity. Make us more humble, gracious, generous and welcoming to all. Remind us constantly that together we are The Church.
As we become one, may we be examples of You in order to spread the faith to others; especially our youth. May we all proclaim Jesus Christ more boldly through words and actions, so that we may be heard and seen as a beacon of light and hope throughout the Lakes Region and beyond.

Consecrated virgin. Deaconess. During an anti-Christian uprising in Alexandria, Egypt caused by a pagan prophecy, the mob seized Apollonia as a leader among the local Christians. After her teeth were broken with pincers, she was given the choice of renouncing Christ or being burned alive; she lept onto the fire herself. Martyr.
