That during this Year for Priests, Pope Benedict and all priests may glorify God by continuing to bear much spiritual fruit.

In thanksgiving for the Lord blessing us with 100 years of St. Anastasia Parish as a Catholic faith community.
We Pray to the Lord.

That through our faithful response of stewardship to the Diocesan Services Appeal and in our parish offertory, we might live as true disciples of the risen Lord,
We pray to the Lord.

For the safety of our Military men and women serving in harms way through out the world, especially in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Most merciful Father, we believe that the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.  Help us in our weakness and need.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.  Amen.
