A Veteran's Day Prayer Dear Heavenly Father, In every age, You call certain persons to defend the human family from oppression, tyranny, and evil. Since our founding as a nation "conceived in liberty," countless American men and women have stepped forward to defend our country and many others from aggressors, and to liberate those held captive.... Today we revere all our veterans: those who rest in honored glory, those who still suffer from the wounds of war, and those who, with us, enjoy the blessing of living in the land of the free and the home of the brave. O God, thank You for the selfless sacrifice of these veterans and of their families. Help us to remember them, to pray for them, and to care for them. Please bring all our departed veterans into Your Kingdom, and console their families with Your unfailing love. Please heal our wounded veterans through the power of Your Holy Spirit, and give to all our veterans the satisfaction of having served You even as they have served us. Thank You for Your gifts of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. May we fight to keep these rights available to all. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Saint Martin of Tours, pray for them. Amen.

Lord, fill this night with your radiance. May we sleep in peace and rise with joy to welcome the light of a new day in your name. We ask this through Christ our Lord.... Amen. See more

We will be providing 50 meals each Tuesday night, but instead of a hot meal inside ...the shelter the men will be given a to-go box dinner, along with a bagged breakfast and lunch. As we are now providing two extra meals we asking for the support of our generous parish in various ways: - Please consider volunteering to help with the meal prep! We still need volunteers to help our cooking teams. This is also a great way to get service hours for school!

As we now have two extra meals to provide any size donation is greatly appreciated! - If you have a Costco membership please consider donating Costco shop cards, as buying in bulk is very helpful for our ministry.
