Strategic Planning Prayer
Heavenly Father,
may we be open to Your grace
as we discern Your will for our parish.
Fill us with Your Spirit of wisdom and truth as we embark on Strategic Planning.
May we continue to grow together in faith, hope, and love, building a Church, a community of faith, that will be a light to the world and a beacon of hope to those in need.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
