The iPray is now listening to the Prayerlist

So what is iPray?

iPray was created based off a passion and desire to pray for those in my community and those just in need of prayer. It is a play off of the iPod in that rather than streaming music or podcasts it is streaming prayer intentions.

How does iPray work?

It works in two ways: 1. You can either go to the Catholic Student Center at Washington University put your intention in the box that is next to Mary in the Chapel. Or 2. Leave a comment here on the blog.

After that is done, I will check on a regular basis the intentions and pray for them. Later, I will post on the blog how I prayed for the latest intentions.

Who can use iPray?

Because this blog is open to any and all it is totally open to any person in need of an intention lifted up.

Who will read my intentions?

I will be the only one reading the intentions. If you wish for others beside myself to pray for your intention please indicate that.

Why does this matter? What is the point of it all?

I strongly believe in the power of prayer and interceeding for one another in prayer. We are called to pray for one another even! (James 5:16) This is something I have really enjoyed doing for a handful of years now.

So start sending your prayer requests. So till then, God bless you!

Gala Volunteer Sunday

You may notice a contingent of people in the community wearing silly, out-of-season ties or bright, colorful scarves this Sunday. Most likely, they’re in the Gala planning committee. The 2009 Newman Gala (October 10) is a mere 2 months away, and the committee has been hard at work to make it a special experience for all of you. If you have any questions for the committee members, feel free to approach them after Mass. Invitations to the Gala are going out in one week, and raffle tickets ($50 each; 1/30 wins; grand prize is $3000) are available for sale after mass, from Jamey Stegmaier (x221, stegmaier@washucsc.org), or online at any time.
