Saturday, June 21st - 4:00 pm - St. Joseph's Church, Eastport

Sunday, June 22nd - 10:00 am - St. James Church, Baileyville

Men's Prayer Group Meeting Wednesdays
Join us for the Men's Prayer Group every Wednesday at 5:00 pm in the Immaculate Conception Church Parish Hall beginning March 19th.
The group will gather weekly for a Gospel Reflection and prayer. Each week, the group will look ahead to the coming week's scripture readings, reflect on the Gospel, explore parts of the Mass and Catechism, and pray for the group's intentions. Meetings will be no longer than an hour, usually less.
This is a casual, come-as-you-are gathering where all men are invited. Whether you're just starting to learn more about the Mass and our faith, or you’ve been walking this journey for years, we need YOU to help get this started.

Prayer for our Parish
Lord,
St. Kateri Tekakwitha Parish is composed of people like me.
It is I who help make it what it is.
It will be friendly, if I am.
It will be holy, if I am.
Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them.
It will do great work, if I work.
It will be prayerful, if I pray.
It will be generous for good causes, if I am a generous giver.
It will bring people together for worship and fellowship, if I invite and bring them.
It will be a parish of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, if I am filled with these same qualities in myself.
Therefore, Lord, give me the grace to dedicate myself to being everything I want St. Kateri Tekakwitha Parish, my parish, to be.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
