A prayer on the death of Pope Francis
Father in heaven, we praise your name
for all who have finished this life loving and trusting you,
for the example of their lives,
the life and grace you gave them
and the peace in which they rest.
We praise you today for your servant Francis
and for all that you did through him.
Meet us in our sadness and fill our hearts with praise and thanksgiving,
for the sake of our risen Lord, Jesus Christ
Into your hands, O merciful Savior,
we commend your servant Francis.
Acknowledge, we pray, a sheep of your own fold,
a lamb of your own flock,
a sinner of your own redeeming.
Enfold him in the arms of your mercy,
in the blessed rest of everlasting peace
and in the glorious company of the saints in light.
Amen.

THE 2025 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES DRIVE
Your sacrificial gifts of prayer and treasure will make an immediate impact on ministries that focus on evangelization, serving those in need and formation of our priests and deacons. During Lent, and throughout the year, we are challenged to renew our spiritual devotions and duties - and one of those holy duties is to support the Church. This year’s theme, “Follow Me” (Mt 16:24), invites us into a deeper relationship with Christ, as we share in His mission of love and service, proclaiming the Good News to all. There is no limit to what we can accomplish together in Christ. PLEASE MAIL YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS DIRECTLY TO THE DIOCESE OF ALTOONA/JOHNSTOWN or you may make an online gift at www.dioceseaj.org/giving. Our diocesan ministries need your support. All gifts received beyond the parish target amount will be used for your parish. The Target amounts for 2025 are: Resurrection Parish, $32,000.00 and St. Clare of Assisi Parish, $8,700.00.
