A Prayer for our Seminarian and Theological Students
God our Father, we thank You for calling Kyle (Dionysios) Sterner (Holy Cross School of Theology) and Jessica (Theophania Elizabeth) Rentz (the Catholic University of America), who continue their theological studies, preparing to serve You and the Holy Church of Christ. Grant them the Grace to grow closer to You through daily prayer. Bless them while they study Your Word and the teachings of the Church. Give them generous and Grace-filled hearts to serve Your people. We ask this through the intercessions of the Three Hierarchs and in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, our great High Priest. Amen.

Prayer for Missionaries supported by our Parishioners
"God of truth and love: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Hear our prayer for those who do not know You. That they may come to a saving knowledge of the truth, and that Your Name may be praised among all peoples of the world. Sustain, inspire, and enlighten Your servants in Asia, Guatemala, Africa, and Albania who bring them the Gospel. Bring fresh vigor to wavering faith; sustain our faith when it is still fragile. Continually renew missionary zeal in ourselves and the Church, and raise new missionaries who will follow You to the ends of the world. Make us witnesses to Your goodness, full of love, strength, and faith for Your glory and the salvation of the world. Through the prayers of all the missionary saints, Have mercy on us and save us. Amen.”

Prayer for the Ailing, Stewards, and Friends of St. Anna Parish
Heavenly Father, physician of our souls and bodies, Who have sent Your only-begotten Son and our Lord Jesus Christ to heal every sickness and infirmity, visit and heal Your servants (include the names of the ailing) from all physical and spiritual ailments through the grace of Your Christ. Grant them patience in this sickness, strength of body and spirit, and recovery of health. Lord, You have taught us through Your word to pray for each other so that we may be healed. We pray, heal Your servants and grant them the gift of complete health. For You are the source of healing, and to You I give glory, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
