WELCOME!
Our two churches, located in rural Northern Polk County, bring together members from 13 school districts and 23 communities to pray, serve, minister, socialize, and grow in our Catholic Faith. Please join us!
Join us in prayer for Pope Leo XIV
Ever-loving God:
look favorably on your servant Pope Leo XIV,
whom you have called to be our shepherd.
Remain close to him in the days ahead.
Renew his strength,
grant him peace,
and restore him to full health.
Grant wisdom and compassion
to the physicians, nurses, and all those who care for him.
And through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother,
may he return soon to his ministry as the shepherd of your flock.
Amen.
