For our country, that with the intercession of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, we may foster a more just society for those most vulnerable: the unborn and the hungry, the homeless and those who are seen of little value, we pray to the Lord…
For all who have died, that with the prayers of Our Lady, Queen of Heaven, they may come to the place God has prepared for them in Heaven, especially our parishioners Patricia Taussig, Mary Thuente and Carolina Quijada (Key-Hada), who died last week…
