Heavenly Father, we praise and thank You for calling us to be Your people. Pour down Your grace and mercy upon our parish. Send Your Spirit to renew us and open our hearts to Your will. Bring us together; make us one family in You.

Lord Jesus, we offer and consecrate our beloved parish to Your Sacred Heart, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, our Mother.

We, the people of St. Edward the Confessor Parish, acknowledge that You and Your Church are the Way, the Truth and the Life. Forgive us our sins and help us to forgive others. We reject the empty promises of the world. Lord, it is You we choose to serve.

We pray for our priests, deacons, and religious; for our school and parish ministries; for our families, our youth, the sick, the lonely and the elderly. We pray for the needs of all our parishioners and for our own special intentions. (pause)

Jesus, meek and humble of Heart, make our hearts like Yours!

St. Edward the Confessor, pray for us.
