An intercessory prayer gathering was held at St. Raphael’s Parish Chapel on October 19, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The same devoted families also came together on November 9, 2024, in Burlington to unite in prayer for world peace, the healing of the sick and suffering, and support for the poor and marginalized. They also prayed earnestly for the spiritual well-being of modern youth, the rekindling of faith in Jesus among families through sacramental life, and for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
The presence and the deeply prayerful spirit of these families are genuinely inspiring; they serve as trailblazers, leading the way in rebuilding communities of faith and revitalizing traditional Catholic practices. Their dedication stands as a beacon of hope and renewal, responding to the profound need in today’s Church for communities that embody the love and teachings of Christ.
