Please pray for...

...Michael Patey to be ordained to the sacred priesthood on Saturday 8th September. He will celebrate his first Holy Mass at St Wilfrid's on Sunday at 10am. All are welcome to the Mass and to the reception afterwards.
The picture shows Michael at his ordination as a deacon last July.

Almighty God, give us priests:
to establish the honour of your holy name;
to offer the holy sacrifice of the altar;
to give us Jesus in the holy Sacrament;
to proclaim the faith of Jesus;
to baptise and to teach the young;
to tend your sheep; to seek the lost;
to give pardon to the penitent sinner
to bless our homes; to pray for the afflicted;
to comfort mourners;
to strengthen us in our last hour; to commend our souls;
Almighty God, give us priests!
