PRAYER OF THANKS 

Thanks to St. Rita of Cascia and St. Philip Neri for favours granted.

PRAYER TO ST. ROCH
O Blessed Saint Roch, patron of the sick, have pity on those who lie upon a bed of suffering. Your power was so great when you were in this world that by the sign of the Cross many were healed of their diseases. Now that you are in heaven, your power is not less. Offer, then, to God our sighs and tears and obtain for us that health we seek through Christ our Lord. Amen. 
(Repeat the following 3 times) Saint Roch, pray for us, that we may be preserved from all diseases of body and soul.

 

In my Thoughts and Prayers

Boys and girls,
I hope you are keeping well and staying safe. 
I want you to keep well and to stay safe; help your family by doing all that you can in your home to help each other, and I ask you especially, to pray each day for all affected by the virus and to ask our heavenly Father to keep everyone strong in faith; always hopeful, and to be generous in their love for everyone.

God bless you and your family.
St. Peter and St. Paul, Pray for us!

Canon Eddie

I ask you to say the following prayer in response to Covid-19:

"Almighty and eternal God,
our refuge in every danger,
to whom we turn in distress; in faith we pray
look with compassion on the afflicted,
grant eternal rest to the dead, comfort to mourners,
healing to the sick, peace to the dying,
strength to healthcare workers, wisdom to our leaders
and the courage to reach out in love,
so that together we may give glory to your holy name.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen."     Canon Eddie

A “Memorial Plaque” brochure, is available on request from Canon Eddie.
