Pray-ers and Prayers at St. Martin's

In addition to the Prayers of the People in the Sunday liturgy there are three additional parish prayer lists, each with a dedicated group of parishioners who have committed themselves to pray for those whose names are presented to them.

You may notice in today’s bulletin that the names list is significantly shorter. Those who had been on the Prayers of the People list for longer than 30 days have been referred to the appropriate prayer chain as described below. Those on the Chronic Illness, Long Term Cancer & Urgent Prayer Chain lists will be included in the Prayers of the People from now on.

To join the Pray-ers, simply call or email the Prayer Leader(s) listed below to receive the regularly revised lists and notification of those in need of prayer. One reason you don’t hear a lot of conversation about these prayer lists is that the Pray-ers keep these names confidential.

To request prayer for someone, you may directly contact the individual prayer chain leader and/or email the name to the parish office to be included on the Sunday Prayers of the People. These names will remain on the POP list for 30 days then drop off unless renewed. You may renew the prayer request and/or add your loved one to one or more of the other ongoing prayer lists of the parish.

Here are more details about the parish prayer lists as described in the parish directory:

Prayer Chains

Linda Huheey

The Prayer Chain is a ministry of prayer for all who request prayers.  The Prayer Chain consists of men and women of St. Martin’s who pray for the members of St Martin’s, their families and friends.  These faithful praying members of the Prayer Chain become open channels for God’s healing grace to flow through them to those in need.   We are grateful for all our faithful prayer chain members.

There are three groups for this confidential prayer ministry: 1) the Urgent Prayer Chain, 2) the Long Term Cancer Prayer Chain, and 3) the Chronic Illness Prayer Chain.

Urgent Prayer

Long Term Cancer

Chronic Illness

Although the Prayer Chains never meet as a group, there is a sense of community as we pray for the members of St Martin’s and their relatives and friends.   

If you would like to become a member of any of these Prayer Chains contact Linda Huheey.

To make a prayer request, contact the stated leader listed above.
