Building Program
Prayer to Our Lady Star of the Sea
Oh, Holy mother of God, look graciously upon our prayers and devotion to your Beloved Son Jesus.
It is your will that we live as brothers and sisters, building up the world by the marvelous powers that you have graciously given us.
We entrust the building of our new
church to your intercession so that it may contribute to the love of this world and the spread of the Kingdom of Christ.
Son of Mary, and Jesus our Christ,
with you as our example and guide
help us to faithfully carry out our commitment and do the work God has asked. Give us the courage, the strength, and the desire, to go above and beyond in all of our efforts: physically, spiritually and financially.
May your church be a place of refuge, a source of love and mercy, and a visible sign of your presence.
AMEN |

YOUTH CHOIR
Music touches everyone's life. It is a powerful medium. What is the message in the lyrics you are listening to? The Youth Choir sings current Contemporary Praise Music you can listen to on the radio (FM 88.1, 91.7, 89.3). This ministry naturally goes through changes as our youth move on to college. We need more youth to step in, and more "seasoned" individuals to help the longevity of our program. If you have a voice, WE NEED YOU. If you play guitar, WE NEED YOU. We practice one hour a week (August/May). We celebrate one Mass per month (9). Yes, you would be stepping up and making a declaration to God. What has God declared for you? Please call Mary Sweeney 912-322-7361.
