Loving and Generous God, it is You

who call us by name and ask us to follow You.

Help us to grow in the Love and Service of our Church

as we experience it today. Give us the energy

and courage of Your Spirit to shape its future.

Grant us faith-filled leaders

who will embrace Christ's Mission of love and justice.

Bless the Church of St. Anthony by raising up

dedicated and generous leaders from our families

and friends who will serve Your people as

Sisters, Priests, Brothers, Deacons and Lay Ministers.

Inspire us to know You better and open our hearts
to hear Your call.

We ask this through our Lord.

Amen
