Pastoral Plan - Prayers of the Faithful

​​​​​​Paris​​​​h Life
We pray for the Pastoral Plan of the Archdiocese of Toronto and our efforts to realize the goals of this spiritual roadmap. May our parish​​ be a place of welcome and hospitality and may our ministries draw people into the mission of the church and closer to the heart of God. We pray to the Lord.

Vocat​ions​
We reflect on the Archdiocesan Pastoral Plan and its call to pray for vocations. For priests, deacons, religious men and women. We also pray for those called to the vocation of single and married life. May we embrace the path ahead, confident that God will guide us in love and compassion as we serve Him joyfully and faithfully. We pray to the Lord.

Evan​​gelization of Society​
We pray for the Archdiocesan Pastoral Plan and its call to evangelize our society. We ask for the courage as individuals and a parish community to be witnesses of your love in a broken world. We pray to the Lord. 

Catholic Outreach in Justi​​ce and Love​
We pray for the Archdiocesan Pastoral Plan and its call to reach both the gathered and scattered in our community. May we be filled with a new desire to be the hands and feet of Christ on Earth as we reach out to the marginalized and spread the Gospel message. We pray to the Lord.

​The Cathedral as a Sign of ​​Our Mission
We reflect on our Archdiocesan Pastoral Plan and its call to view the Cathedral as a sign of our mission. For all those who work to construct and maintain our churches, the rock of our faith. May these guardians of our sacred space be safe as they work to nurture and strengthen a gathering place for the people of God. We pray to the Lord.

We pray for the renovations currently underway at St. Michael’s Cathedral. May the restoration of the building’s beauty capture the hearts of those who worship in this space, inspiring them and bringing them closer to God. We pray to the Lord.​​​
