have a burning love for you and for our neighbour. Help each of us to play our part in
making our parish a place of welcome, where people may experience your healing grace
and be empowered to bear witness to your love for all. We ask this through Christ our
Lord, Amen.
Our Lady of Peace, Pray for us! St Andrew, Pray for us! St Gilbert, Pray for us!
