Upcoming Events

Thanksgiving Food Drive

Thanksgiving Day on Monday, Oct 11, 2021. We celebrate in gratitude for all the blessings we received especially getting thru this Covid-19 and praying for the loss of loved ones, our prayers be with you in these difficult times. Thanksgiving gives people a chance to reflect on why they are thankful. A Catholic Thanksgiving Holiday should be filled with thanks and love. Spend a few minutes talking with your family, friends and neighbours and ask them why they are so thankful this year. Sharing is an opportunity to learn about each other and worship God. And most importantly we need to give thanks to God for giving His only Son to us. He died for our sins and we should thank Him for this every day. Here at Precious Blood, you responded to the call of bringing coffee mostly needed by The Good Shepherd shelter. Again, we plead and ask you on this coming Thanksgiving to bring and help share to our brothers and sisters. God bless us all.

Prayer for the end of the Pandemic

Lord Jesus I Love You.
You shed every drop of Your Precious Blood to save us.
I thank you Jesus. Look upon your people with Mercy and again pour Your Precious Blood upon myself, my family and all of humanity. Let Your Precious Blood envelope every virus and all ungodly things that are persecuting us at this time. Bind these at the foot of Your Cross to remain there forever and come quickly to cleanse, to purify, to sanctify and to liberate us of this deadly virus that is ravaging the whole world. Have Mercy on us.
Lord, You alone are the Healer … Glory be to You Lord.

We trust in Your Mercy and so we beg God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary for healing of all humanity.

Amen
