Almighty God, our diversity is your gift, and leads us to reach beyond ourselves to embrace people of every race, location, nation, ethnic and social background.  Countless are those who have come to our doors with their hopes and dreams, seeking acceptance, welcome, safety, dignity and freedom to worship you. By your grace they continue to be invited and nourished by our community of faith. As an ecclesiastical family of service, prayer, and love, may we your clergy and religious, further  grow in faith and always be a beacon of truth and openness to others. Amen.
