Lord Jesus, bind us together as a community. Through the Holy Spirit, give us aid to support one another, bear the burdens of one another, and rejoice with one another. Provide us with wisdom as we discern how to build communities within our parish that will help people grow as disciples, experience your presence, and go forward to share the Gospel. We ask this in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen
