Prayer Requests
If illness or a crisis strikes your family or friends, don't hesitate to contact us so members of our Parish may offer prayers for your needs. For requests or to participate in our prayer chain, contact Barb Liske or at 515-367-2685.
Cards for Home-Bound and in Care Facilities
If you know someone who might like to receive cards from parishioners, please ask them if we may put their address in the bulletin so cards can be sent.
