Pray for Priests – January 2026
Below are the priests of our diocese for whom we are asked to pray daily.
Prayer:
Eternal Father, we lift up to You these and all the priests of the world. Sanctify them. Heal and guide them. Mold them into the likeness of Your Son, Jesus the Eternal High Priest. May their lives be pleasing to You. In Jesus’s name we pray. Amen
