St. Joseph Catholic Church, Springfield MO

Lord hear our prayer. 🙏

“The three Persons are distinct from one another; a sublime knowledge is infused into the soul, imbuing it with a certainty of the truth that the Three are of one substance, power, and knowledge and are one God.” - St. Theresa of Avila

Have a blessed feast of the Most Holy Trinity. 🙏🏻

Please join us in praying for peace! 🕊️

The Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, has invited all Catholics to join him in a prayer for peace at noon (our time) on Saturday, May 30th.

As our contribution to this effort, Father Pompeyo requests that, if you are able, please pause at noon and say the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary.

To see the specific prayer intentions for the decades of the Rosary, please see this article from Vatican News:
