Prayer of Thanks for our Nation's Independence

God our Father, your Son Jesus spoke to us a

message of peace and taught us to live as broth-

ers and sisters.

His message took form in the vision of our

Founding Fathers, as they fashioned a nation

where all people might live as one.

This message lives on in our midst as a task for

us today and a promise for tomorrow.

We thank you, Father, for your blessings in the

past, and for all that, with your help, we must

yet achieve.

Bless our nation and bless each of us. As we

thank you for our independence, may we extend

its blessings to our youngest brothers and sisters,

the children in the womb.

Hasten the day when our nation will be a

nation with liberty and justice, not just for

some, but for all, through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

templation with blessed activism in their particular

life circumstances. 9:15 am – 4:00 pm (Registration

Remembering St Brendan's and St Ann's

in your will

Many people have given bequests over the

years to our parish collaborative and we are

grateful for their generosity. Gifts and bequests

are a line item in our parish budgets and as the

fiscal year comes to a close some have inquired

about the logistics of giving a large or small gift

as part of your estate planning. If you would

like more information about how this can be

done in loving memory of anyone in your life

please contact our finance manager Nancy Lafoe

or any member of our finance councils. May

the Lord continue to inspire us to be cheerful

givers.
