Prayer for Peace: In November we joined with members of

the Church of the Good Samaritan to pray for peace. This was a

wonderful experience of unity as our two communities came

together to pray for peace for all. The next prayer hour will be

on December 3 at the Church of the Good Samaritan 4049 W

Osborn Road, Phoenix, AZ 85019. Please join us as we come

together on this day. We have many areas of peace to pray for

in our country and the world. Prayer is our best avenue of hope

as we move forward as a country and a people of faith. Please

join us on Saturday, December 3rd at the Church of the Good

Shepherd from 9 am to 10 am. Can we not take 1 hour

to pray for peace in our country, family, world?

Novena this year. First of all to thank Our Lady for the

many blessings she has sent to us through the interces-

need prayer more than ever, as we recognize the divi-

sion, hate, and injustice that is taking place every day

across the United States.
