Celebrating Liturgically
Praying for Each Other
Members of the parish and school community are invited to adopt a student for the school year to pray for, sacrifice for, and lift up daily. In the same way parishioners are invited to pray for students, students will be encouraged to pray for those who spiritually adopted them. Families are encouraged to join the virtual rosary with the parish, too.
