Prayer & Action is Underway!!!

Prayer & Action has begun in Washington County, Kansas and the communities of Hanover, Greenleaf, Washington. Prayer & Action is beginning its seventh year of providing ministry to those who are in need or just need a helping hand. This ministry is a way for our young people to put their faith into action by being of service to their neighbor. For this week, college students are here doing different jobs and enjoying the company of other young people, some whom they know from previous Prayer & Action experiences and those they are just getting to know. It is a wonderful way to build friendships and to live the faith that we profess. In the following weeks, the high school students will be here to provide the same service. The key component to putting their ministry into practice is prayer. The opening Mass was celebrated this morning and it was a joy to see the young people interact with the daily Mass people. Mass was well attended for a daily schedule in the early beginnigs of summer. I am looking forward to the young people and their sponsors being here in Washington County. I did go out to a couple of the work sites to watch the young people in action and interact with the people they are providing the ministry to. This is a wonderful ministry and I hope others will take part because it is truly a blessing to any given community. Those in the Washington County area who read this blog, if you know of any jobs that need to be done- painting, yard work, minor repair, let me know and I will pass the information on to the team. Other readers, please keep the team and our young people in your prayers! May God bless the work that has begun and bring it to a fruitful completion! Bless You!!!
