Parish Prayer Team
ONE YEAR REPORT
One year ago, I read this letter from Archbishop Etienne: https://www.psj23.org/archbishop-s-letter-about-parish-prayer-team, and asked Father Tuan to be the Leader of this Prayer Team. He approved my request and I have been working in Christ’s Service to form and lead this team for this last year, recruiting 12 members from all of the parishes and ethnic groups to have a team that represents all of the parishioners of Pope Saint John XXIII Parish.
As a team we have prayed all of the prayers given to us and about half have already been answered. I want to have more prayers for this new year and ask all parish members to consider emailing me at frgtacoma.com or text/call me at 253-459-2486 with a detailed description of a Prayer Requests that our team can do for your intentions. Thanking God for this opportunity.
