Hello Holy Family! As we start the Lenten Season, the OCIA Team is asking for everyone to pray for the Catechumen and Candidates that will start their final journey to the Sacraments of Initiation, and full communion with the Catholic Church during the Easter Vigil. The Devil is working full time to distract everyone from the beauty of our faith and a relationship with Christ, so those that have yet be Baptized are even more susceptible to challenge. Please join the Team in praying for these great individuals over the next 40 (46) days of Lent! God bless!
Please continue to pray for Franco Natividad, son of Edith & Phillip Natividad. Franco recently had surgery, was released but has been readmitted to the hospital. Prayers for healing and health are appreciated.
