Almighty and eternal God, we place our hope in You to guide the Catholic Church in Vermont to renew our parishes, and engage our youth; to form lay leaders, and serve the most vulnerable among us. In the power of the Holy Spirit, help us build a vibrant church in this time and place and for generations to come. Seeking the intercession of our first bishop Louis deGoesbriand, we pray this through Christ our Lord, Amen.

Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us. St. Augustine, pray for us.
