Father Dave’s 40th Anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood will be on June 7, 2020. Please pray the following prayer in support of Father Dave for his continued service as pastor of our parish.
Gracious and loving God, we thank your for the gift of our priest, Father David Durkee. Through him, we experience your presence in the sacraments. Help Father Dave to be strong in his vocation. Set his soul on fire with love for your people. Grant him the wisdom, understanding, and strength he needs to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Inspire him with the vision of your Kingdom. Give him the words he needs to spread the Gospel. Allow him to experience joy in his ministry. Help him to be an instrument of your divine grace. We ask this through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns as our Eternal Priest. Amen.
May the love of the Lord be with you always. Blessings on the anniversary of your ordination to the priesthood Father Dave!!!
