St. Catherine of Siena Parish April 2013 There will be a Mass on Friday April 5th at 7pm in memory of Fr. Aldo Uderzo, who passed away last month. We welcome our new Pope and we pray for him! Prayer for the Pope Lord God, You are our Eternal Shepherd and Guide. In Your mercy you have granted Your Church a new successor of Peter, a shepherd who will walk in Your ways and whose watchful care will bring us Your blessing. Let us pray that he, like Peter and with Peter, will be bold and strong in his witness, and capable of moving hearts to conversion and reconciliation. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, for ever and ever. Amen.
