 Prayer Chain  The prayer chain consists of a group of people linked together by telephone to pray for those in need.  Prayers may concern anything that is on the person's mind - sick relatives or friends, upcoming job interviews, housing needs, or, the ones we enjoy the most - praise for answered prayers! 

Jesus said, "For where two or three of you are gathered together in My name, there I am in your midst" (Matthew 18:20). 

If you would like to activate the prayer chain or become a part of it, please call the Parish office (540-955-1610) and leave a message for Sue Nolan.
