New Prayer Group is Seeking Participants!
As our parish begins an Evangelization focus that is directed by our Archdiocese, one of the first needs is that of prayer. Therefore, a new Evangelization Prayer Group has begun meeting, please join us!
Date: Thursday, March 5, 2026
Time: 1:30 to 3:00 pm
Place: Rooms 105 & 106
This prayer group will meet monthly, on the 1st Thursday of each month, from 1:30 to 3:00 pm. Jacob Wilson, Director of Evangelization for Saint Joe's, will be leading the prayer. It will be a peaceful time of reflection, hope and insights as we pray for the success of the Evangelization Team and other parish needs. No experience is necessary, just a love of prayer and a willingness to listen and pray, through scripture.
