HOLY APOSTLES PARISH
Prayer
 
Lord God, giver of life and source of every gift, we come to you in faith and gratitude, nourished by Word and Sacraments, in our beloved Holy Apostles Parish.  To see the Kingdom of God more fully realized in our parish is Your will and our privilege.  Help us always to use our gifts of time, talent and treasure wisely, and teach us to share them generously, to bear witness to the love of Christ in our lives.  Please bless our efforts as we seek to be a Christ-centered, welcoming community, respecting each other and serving those in need.  Create in us a spirit of trust, so that as we have been given, so we will give.
 
We pray this with grateful hearts in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

How to Support Our Parish Financially


Pre-Authorized Remittances (PAR)
PAR is invaluable to the parish in these times as these contributions still arrive even if you can’t. For the parish, PAR provides a steadier and more predictable stream of funds. This is extremely helpful for budgeting and planning for larger projects. Contact the Parish office at 902-826-2696  or email engagehap@gmail.com. The PAR form is available to download here.
