150th Anniversary

Prayer of Thanksgiving on the 150th Anniversary of the Cathedral Dedication

God of all ages,
We praise and thank you for the gift of your Spirit,
who guided our ancestors in the way of faith
and sustained them in times of hardship.
May the same Spirit lead and direct us,
as we prepare to meet the challenges before us.
Renew the grace of our Baptism and fan into a flame
the spark of faith in our hearts
so that we may live out our Baptismal call,
serving the needs of the people of our Archdiocese
today and tomorrow.

May our parishes grow as communities of prayer
and as signs of the justice and love of Your Kingdom.

Creator of all, we praise You,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
in the communion of the Holy Spirit,
one God forever and ever.

Amen.
We Remember ... We Celebrate ... We Go Forth
