Holy Eucharist is the center of our lives,

and the source or our mission.

Nourished by the Word of God, we strive

to instill family values, promote social

justice, and foster life-long formation in

the Catholic faith. As we work together to

build a community dedicated to living the

Need Prayer? Prayer needs are addressed in two ways at St. Louis. In the vestibule of church is a

Prayer Request Notebook where anyone, at any time, can write prayer concerns. The

Members of the Prayer and Praise Ministry commit to praying daily for these intentions.

Additionally, on the first Sunday of the month, those requests are mentioned in the

Prayers of the Faithful. For more urgent prayer needs (illness, surgery, etc.) there is a

Prayer Chain that will get dozens of people praying immediately. To begin the Prayer

Chain, please call one of the following:

Janice Werner, 932-9200 ; Erma Hartman, 934-3678; or Viola Fullenkamp, 934-3316

Ministry of Prayer and Praise Intentions for March For our parish family, that the graces of this Lenten season will sanctify and

renew all of us and bring back to the family those who have gone astray.

For the chronically ill, the unemployed, and the hopeless, that they may find in

Christ and our cheerful assistance the hope they need to sustain them in their

troubles.

For those who suffer from addiction, that they may be consoled by Christ’s

abundant concern for them and their welfare.

For those preparing to enter the Church at Easter: that these final weeks of

their preparation will be blessed in every way.

For all those who will be traveling over spring break, that their trip may be safe

and that they come back feeling refreshed and renewed.
