Heavenly Father, You have blessed our parish and our families with many gifts, and we thank you for Your loving care. We once again come before You to acknowledge Your presence in our lives, and ask Your guidance and grace as we strive to do Your will.
Through the intercession of Saint Anne, Mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary, open our hearts and our minds to Your will. Help us to remember that everything in life comes from Your generosity and from the sacrifice of Your Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Help us also to find the way to build our new Sanctuary, the new Saint Anne Catholic Church, to provide all who love You a place to pray, receive Your Sacraments, and share Your gifts with our growing family.
Strengthen our faith that You will continue to provide for our needs in life, and help us remember and give thanks for those who sacrificed their work and treasure before us. May we now be as willing and generous to contribute our efforts and treasure for our growing family, and the generations who will follow.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, Our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.
