Gracious and Loving God:
We give you thanks and praise for having sent us your
Son Jesus to save us and to lead us to you.
As our Parish celebrates one hundred years of existence,
we want to specially thank you for having blessed us with faith-filled leaders, faithful parishioners, and meaningful events throughout the years.
As we joyfully celebrate a century of blessings, we ask you to continue to bless our entire Faith Community, so that we may be authentic disciples of Jesus in the world today. With the powerful intercession of Mary, may we truly be the salt of the earth and the light of the world, through the mission and ministry of the Catholic Church: Rediscovering Jesus, following Him, worshiping Him and sharing His love among ourselves and beyond.
Through Christ our Lord. R./ AMEN
Happy 100th Anniversary St. Mary’s of the Lake Parish
