Advent Ember Days This Week
Ember Days follow an ancient practice of the church to pray for vocations to the priesthood. December 4, 6 and 7 are Ember Days of Advent this year. Ember Friday, Dec 6 is a required day of abstinence from meat for Ordinariate Members! Please pray for all of our seminarians as they continue to respond to God's call.
Prayer for Embertide:
O ALMIGHTY God, look mercifully upon the world, redeemed by the blood of thy dear Son, and incline the hearts of all whom thou dost call to offer themselves for the sacred ministry of thy Church; that there may never be wanting a supply of fit persons to preach thy Word, and dispense thy holy Sacraments; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

The December Mass Intentions calendar is open.
Mass Intention requests are open to all.
Requested a date and offering or request online:
You can even set up a recurring annual intention for Anniversary's, Birthdays, Baptismal Dates, etc. using this form. Then you don't have to remember to do this every year! Most parishes are full with intentions a year out and only open the calendar once a year, but we can offer this because as a new parish mission we don't have the volume of requests that most parishes do.
