Visible Expression

The ecclesial community, while always having a universal dimension, finds its most immediate and visible expression in the parish. It is there that the Church is seen locally. In a certain sense it is...

"... the Church living in the midst of the homes of her sons and daughters..."

Pope John Paul II

Evening Prayer

Let us pray to Christ, our life and our resurrection.
R: Son of the living God, protect your people
We pray for the Catholic Church:
–may she reveal among the nations your kingdom of justice and holiness.
R: Son of the living God, protect your people
We pray for those who have lost you in the maze of life:
–let them know once more the joy of coming home.
R: Son of the living God, protect your people
We pray for all the living,
–and those who have left this world in the hope of the resurrection.
R: Son of the living God, protect your people
