40 DAYS FOR LIFE
September 25-November 3Remember to pray daily during the 40 Days for Life campaign:
Prayer for the Unborn
Heavenly Father, in Your love for us, protect against the wickedness of the devil, those helpless little ones to whom You have given the gift of life. Touch with pity the hearts of those women pregnant in our world today who are not thinking of motherhood. Help them to see that the child they carry is made in Your image—as well as theirs—made for eternal life. Dispel their fear and selfishness and give them true womanly hearts to love their babies and give them birth and all the needed care that a mother alone can give. We ask this through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

Seasons of Grief - Day of Prayer
with Sr. June Engelbrecht, OP
November 5, 2019 | 9:00AM - 2:00PM
TORRENT OF GRACE
An Evening of Worship
Featuring “Overshadow Me” with Sean Tobin
“Torrent of Grace,” an evening of prophetic praise featuring musician, songwriter and worship leader Sean Tobin will take place on Sunday, November 10, 7:30 pm, at St. Benilde cafeteria. The sole purpose of this gathering is to seek God, to worship and experience the presence of the Holy Spirit. Everyone is invited who desires to spend an evening with prophetic, Spirit-filled music and praise. At the Catholic Charismatic Conference last March, Sean Tobin ushered in what was termed a “visitation of the Holy Spirit” by singing his song “Overshadow Me.” There is no charge for the event but a love offering will be received. This event is hosted by Catholic Charismatic Renewal of New Orleans (CCRNO).
