Pray The Rosary For All Affected By Sucide
While we hold that all life is sacred, we are also all-too aware that psychological, emotional and even physical illness — as well as extreme anxiety, fear, and abuse — can lead individuals to take their own lives. Speaking to this, the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults reflects, “Although suicide is always objectively sinful, one should not despair of the eternal salvation of persons who have taken their own lives. By ways known to him alone, God can provide the opportunity for salutary repentance. The Church prays for persons who have taken their own lives” (pg. 294). The text also states the reality of illness or other extreme influences can “diminish the responsibility of one committing suicide” (pg. 293).

Please pray for all those affected by suicide.
Rosebud Ministry
The Rosebud Program helps a church identify, pray for, and support those who are pregnant, celebrating birth or adoption, grieving miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, infant or child death, and waiting to become pregnant or adopt. Prayers for grandparent concerns, and troubled times are also included.
Each rosebud color has a special meaning and has a coordinating tag and prayer card. The tag has a place for families to write information about a particular situation for which prayer is being requested. Rosebuds are displayed as a reminder to pray daily for the families represented.
The Rosebuds will be located in our Gathering Space.
Each Monday night at 7:00PM the Rosebuds will be brought into church and their intentions will be offered during a Rosary for all life. All are welcome to pray.
The names of those asking for prayers will also be shared each week with our Flocknote Prayer Warriors Group. If you would like to pray for these special intentions you can join our Pray Warriors .
