First Saturday Rosary
Come and join us in praying the “First Saturday Rosary”, to pray for peace, understanding, comfort, and the healing of all peoples. Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on First Saturday is for peace in the world, and peace in the Church. The promise attached to the First Saturday of five consecutive months is for the individual. Our Lady promised to Sister Lucia to assist with the graces necessary for salvation, those who, on the First Saturday of five consecutive months, shall confess, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep her company for fifteen minutes on the Mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation to her. The fifteen minutes meditation is done individually on your private time with Our Lady.
When: The First Saturday of every month.
Time: After the 8:00 AM Mass, from 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM
Location: Saint Faustina Catholic Church, Clermont, FL

Capital Campaign Prayer
O good and gracious God, we come to you with grateful hearts for all the blessings you have bestowed upon us since the foundation of this great parish.
You have entrusted to us the riches of the Father’s mercy to the world around us. May we remain steadfast in our response to your call for ministry. Make us faithful stewards of the many gifts you have entrusted to our care.
May the Capital Campaign we have begun enliven our hearts to be more generous, transparent and collaborative in all that we do as one parish family.
Grant wisdom to all who are engaged in the plans and designs of our place of worship; safety to all construction workers and volunteers in the field.
Through the intercession of St. Faustina, apostle of mercy and our patroness, may this Capital Campaign and all our parish endeavors be accomplished according to your holy will.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. St. Faustina, pray for us!
