Prayers & Devotions
"This I say for your own benefit; not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what is appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord."
- 1 Corinthians 7:35
"Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus."
- 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Mission Statement:
To promote the Devotions among all Catholics, especially young people and families who have not learned the meaning or value of devotions -- nor are they aware of the tremendous spiritual and temporal blessings and graces so terribly needed today, which our Lord is willing to shower upon those who have a true love for Him and His Blessed Mother, and who especially respect and venerate the Blessed Sacrament.
Vision Statement:
To contribute to the church's ongoing mission of:
- encouraging everyone to have a few moments with God;
- bringing people together and closer to God, to Jesus through Mary; and
- praying for others.
What the ministry is about:
The Prayers and Devotions Ministry is an extension of the Sacred Liturgy and are Touchstones of Faith. "Devotions" are so pleasing to God that He can refuse nothing to those who practice it. The ministry is dedicated to work and pray for the salvation of souls, for peace and for the Triumph of the Two Hearts.
