Prayer Circle
Our Purpose
Prayer is the expression in word and action of our relationship with
God. Its purpose is to develop and deepen this relationship through
spoken prayer- liturgical prayer, or heart to heart prayer, spontaneous
prayer.
St. Francis de Sales teaches us that “If prayer be a colloquy, a discourse or a conversation of the soul with God, by it then, we speak to God and He speaks to us: We aspire to Him and breathe in Him and He reciprocally inspires us and breathes upon us.”
We Catholics have a rich treasure of prayers for all occasions or circumstances. The most precious of these is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Consistent with this greatest prayer are prayers of adoration, praise, petition and thanksgiving.
This website is here to help one deepen one’s spiritual life, and enhance the prayer life of the Parish.
Our Profile
One can become part of the Prayer Circle by praying daily and participating in all or many of the opportunities for prayer offered by our Parish including those offered in the Marian Circle and Eucharistic Circle.
The requests on the Prayer Walls and those listed in our parish bulletin provide Prayer Circle Members the opportunities to give spiritual support to those who find themselves in difficult circumstances.

No situation is outside the light of the Resurrection, the power of the Holy Spirit, or God the Father’s love. Every aspect of our lives is under this powerful influence. When we pray, whether it be for the needs of the world or our own spiritual growth, then God is there to meet our every desire.
