We will continue to sing and pray together in unison and solidarity to our
Lord Jesus for His abiding peace, grace, hope, and healing.
We are called to be a Church that prays for peace and seeks justice
We are called to be a Church that gives hope
We are called to be a Church that heals wounds
~Pastoral Letter of the 2022 Synod of Bishops
A Love Chain to Ukraine
We fly to Your patronage, O Virgin Mother of God.
Despise not our prayers in our need,
but deliver us from all dangers, since you alone are pure and blessed.
O most glorious ever-Virgin Mary,
the Mother of Christ our God, accept our prayers
and present them to Your Son and our God,
that for the sake of you, He enlighten and save our souls.
