Servant and Steward: Father Daren J. Zehnle
Papal Prayer Intentions
Counter
General: That the mentally
handicapped may not be
marginalized but respected
and lovingly helped to live in a
way dignifying their physical
and social conditions.

Mission: That Institutes of
Consecrated Life, so
flourishing in mission
countries, may rediscover the
missionary dimension and
faithful to the radical choice of
Gospel counsels, be
generous in bearing witness
to Christ and proclaiming
Him to the ends of the earth.
Our Lady of the Life Giving Spring,
pray for us.
Saints Francis and Clare,
pray for us.
