St. Joseph parish recently celebrated the 100-year anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima's first appearances with a Prayer Service for Peace that included a Procession around the city park. All from the community were welcome, as the message of peace is for us all. We were reminded of this in one of the prayers from the May 13th Prayer Service:
We gather here as a community of believers and we are reminded that we are all part of one global human family living together in a world that remains broken and divided. In search of universal peace, we join together in our common hope. Loving God, help us to recognize that you call each one of us to commit ourselves to the effort of peace in the world. Spirit of wisdom, guide us. Spirit of openness, transform us. Spirit of truth, lead us.
Thanks to everyone for participating in and supporting the Fatima festivities.
