PRAYER AT HOME
 Join us in praying for the intercession of our diocesan patron, Saint Vincent de Paul and for the daily prayer intentions from the diocese as well as for those on our parish prayer list. 
Saint Vincent de Paul 
April 24, 1581 - September 27, 1660
Noble Saint Vincent de Paul, beloved servant of the poor, may we follow your example and do good works among those whom society has abandoned, enslaved, or forgotten. Inspire us to feed the hungry, to love a child, to provide comfort and medicine to the sick, to clothe those whose garments are threadbare, and to offer hope and our Lord's words to all who need respite. Pray for us to our beloved God that we may commit ourselves selflessly to doing the same charitable acts that you did all your life, and intercede with him that we may have the favor of his guidance and strength and love upon this important and meaningful work. Amen.
