Blessings and prayers on the Good and Holy Friday. The parish family is in my thoughts and prayers. Please take the time today to participate in the Liturgy. We have also set the crucifix up outside the church at the front doors and you are all welcomed and encouraged to come by and take a moment to adore our Lord and give thanks for His sacrifice. God bless you all.

ALMIGHTY God, we beseech thee graciously to behold this thy
family, for which our Lord Jesus Christ was contented to be betrayed, and given
up into the hands of wicked men, and to suffer death upon the cross; who now
liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost ever, one God, world without
end. Amen.
ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the
whole body of the Church is governed and sanctified; Receive our supplications
and prayers, which we offer before thee for all estates of men in thy holy
Church, that every member of the same, in his vocation and ministry, may truly
and godly serve thee; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
MERCIFUL God, who hast made all men, and hatest
nothing that thou hast made, nor desirest the death of a sinner, but rather
that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all who know thee not as thou
art revealed in the Gospel of thy Son. Take from them all ignorance, hardness
of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord, to
thy fold, that they may be made one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our
Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world
without end. Amen.
