“As we prayerfully remember the tragedy of September 11, 2001, I invite all Catholics to join me in prayer for the victims taken from us in acts of unjustifiable violence 25 years ago at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in rural Pennsylvania. In a special way, we lovingly embrace in prayer the victims’ families and friends, who still mourn the irretrievable loss of their loved ones on that day. We also remember the first responders and emergency workers, so many who gave their lives in selfless acts of courage.

Lord, on this Labor Day,
we thank You for the blessing of work.

🎒 It was a gorgeous weekend for back to school blessings from Father John and Father Peter! Students from all schools brought their backpacks to Mass and received a blessing, as well as a small gift from St. Mary School Swormville.
Let's keep students and teachers in our prayers this week as they head back to class:
A BACK TO SCHOOL PRAYER - God of wisdom & might, we praise you for the wonder of our being, for mind, body & spirit. Be with our children as they begin a new school year. Bless them & their teachers & staff. Give them strength & grace as their bodies grow; wisdom & knowledge to their minds as they search for understanding; & peace & zeal to their hearts. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
