Heavenly God, Your Son, Jesus, established your Church as a welcoming and loving home for all who seek You. Here in the northern Boone County area, you inspired our forbearers to build Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish to be that place of prayer and community for all your children. Help us to maintain that legacy through strengthening our communion and continuing to grow in faith, hope and love as we repair our church, address our ministerial needs and address the concerns of our school. We offer prayers of gratitude for the sacrifices and the hard work of previous generations of parishioners who have helped make our parish what it is today. May we be as generous as we look to our future. Bless our capital campaign with a deepening devotion to prayer, a growing commitment for service, and increasing levels of generosity as we work to advance the life and ministry of our parish. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen
