Lord Jesus, Hear our pleas, our Good shepherd and Divine physician. We implore your mercy in the wake of an outbreak of serious illness and disease. Guide our efforts to prevent contagion and meek preparations to care for those most vulnerable. Assist all professionals and volunteers who work to eradicate the epidemic now spreading. May our actions be marked by your steadfast love and selfless service and never by panic or fear. Bestow your comfort and healing to the sick, sustain and strengthen them by your grace. May they know your closeness as they carry the cross of illness. And may all who have been called from this life come to worship you eternally with all the saints as you grant consolation and peace to their mourners. Amen. Holy Mary, Health of the sick, pray for us. St. Joseph, hope of the sick, pray for us. St. Rocco, protector against epidemic, pray for us.
 

Throughout the month of November we would like to remember and pray for all the faithful depareted, souls in purgatory and all our loved ones who have gone before marked with the sign of faith. May God's light shine upon them all. May the souls of the fatifhul departed throught the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen. 
Please say one our Father, three ahil Mary's and one Glory be.....

 Diocesan “Christ Our Hope: Building a Vibrant Church Capital Campaign” is is underway.  The goal of this effort is to unite as Catholics to renew, strengthen and secure the future of the Catholic Church in Vermont. This three-year capital campaign is meant to benefit individual parishes and the Diocese of Vermont as a whole.   60% of funds donated by a parish will go back to that parish and 40% will go to the diocese for evangelization and youth ministry projects.  Thank you for whatever support you can offer for the success of this campaign, through donations or prayers.  To learn more about the campaign visit: www.christourhopevt.org

                        Prayer for Making a Spiritual Communion:

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most holy Eucharist. I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.
