SAINT OF THE DAY
Let us ask our VBS Saint of the Day (St. Elizabeth Ann Seton) to pray for us. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, pray for us.
Let us pray:
Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

THEME OF THE DAY
Show a cell phone. Who can tell me what I am holding? Who likes to get calls? Theme: The Mass is a CALL for each one of us to say “yes” to Jesus.
