St. Patrick's Prayer Life

Pray for one another, so that you may be healed.
—James 5:16

St. Patrick's Prayer Line

The prayer line consists of a group of people who pray individually out of their homes. This spiritual ministry supports those asking for specific prayers for healing, a death, special intentions or thanksgiving. Prayer Line members pray and forward the prayer requests received to the next available person on the telephone list as soon as possible. The frequency of the calls varies. There are no meetings.

For information on the Prayer Line call Eleanor at 815-727-4746.

Every Monday evening we spend one hour from 7:00 to 8:00 for the purpose of growing in Faith with Rosary, Bible Reflection, Song and Adoration.

All are welcome - Come join in this growth experience.

Adoration on First Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

NB) In case you are looking for special prayer intentions for others, here are some timely needs! Read them over, reflect, ponder and count your Blessings!- Father Jim
