Our Intercessory Prayer Group is an opportunity to explore life and the Christian faith in a friendly, informal environment of group prayer. Intercessory prayer knows no boundaries and can also be accomplished in your own home. Each month, we pray for the renewal of our St. Joseph’s Catholic community, our neighborhood, and for various specific intentions.

Next Monthly Meeting

Let us pray that, joined in faith, hope, and love, we support all those who offer their lives in service to the Church.

This month, let us pray for forgiveness. This is something we all need to give and receive. Let us forgive ourselves and try to do better next time the opportunity comes our way and make the right decision or action. Let us forgive others for their sins and bad actions. We do not know what they are going through so take it easy on others. God forgives us so we should forgive others and help them to grow their faith. It is always good to ask for forgiven from others and God. May God grace give us the desire to ask for forgiveness.

“Forgiveness doesn’t change the past, it changes the future.”
