"Oremus" is a personal private commitment to pray for Fr. O'Hare, Fr. Thompson, Fr. Luke, Deacon Ricky, and Fr. Magat
The Oremus commitment is fourfold:
- Attend one daily Mass a week (at any Catholic Church) and offer that Holy Communion for the Parish Priests’ intentions and needs
- Pray the “Magnificat Magazine” shortened version of Morning Prayer or Evening Prayer once a week for the Parish Priests’ intentions and needs (or pray the full version as provided in the Liturgy of the Hours)
- Make a holy hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament (exposed or in a tabernacle) once a month for the Parish Priests’ intentions and needs
- After Sunday Mass to pray one of the various “Prayers for Priests” found in the St. Louis Parish Prayerbook
To make this commitment simply send an email message to oremus@saintlouisparish.org You will receive a confidential acknowledgement of your email. * Note that this is a private voluntary commitment, not made under pain of sin. One should also not unnecessarily share with others that you have made this commitment. The priests will not know the names of any of the Oremus members, so as to guard the private nature of this commitment. Thank you for your love and prayers for our parish priests!
