Names for the sick list come from hospital visitation lists; also from telephone calls made to the parish office. We are aware that there are many others in the parish and community who are suffering and, therefore, we ask those who are praying to include in your prayers “all in our parish and community who are in need of healing, physical or spiritual.”
