Dear brothers & sisters in Christ,

We are entering the season of Lent—a time to recognize our dependence on God and let go of the things that keep us from truly loving God and one another.  You can find all of our parish Lenten offerings on our website. 

As we embark on this Lenten journey I want to invite you to join us in a special commitment.

This year, I am asking every household in the parish to commit to becoming a 7•5•1 Home. 

We know that every home looks a little different, and so how your home chooses to commit might not look exactly the same as another family in our parish. We have resources available for homes with members of all ages and at all stages in life to help you develop meaningful and enjoyable prayer routines and rhythms into your life. 

Our hope is that this initiative will help everyone in our parish – regardless of what your family looks like – grow in your relationship with Jesus.

In Teach My People to Pray, Bishop Ricken urged us to take up this practice. He said,

“I ask you to transform your home into a school of prayer and love by making the family of Jesus, Joseph, and Mary your model and example.”

It is only through making our homes schools of prayer that we can truly become friends and followers of Jesus. With a foundation of prayer, we can then Live the Gospel, Encounter Jesus in the Eucharist and lead others to Christ.

Our parish has developed some simple, easy-to-use tools to help you make this commitment on our intentionalathome.com website.  There you will find

• The Prayer@Home Guide - to help you identify and overcome obstacles and help you implement strategies to make prayer simple and doable for your whole family.

• The Prayer@Home Calendar - to help you keep track of your commitment to pray.

• Many Prayer Resources - to help you find the prayer routine that works best for you!

Let’s make every household
in our parish a 7•5•1 home!

Peace, 
Fr. Jerry

Life makes many demands on today’s families, and lives are often full and hectic. Finding the time for prayer can seem difficult – especially if you aren’t sure where to begin or how to pray.

Join us in taking some time to look at how to create a daily prayer routine and share examples of prayer routines for people of a variety of ages, households, work situations, and schedules.  Get encouragement in your 7•5•1 Prayer@Home commitment and spend some time praying with others on the journey.

Join Us Via Zoom
