Coming soon!
Heavenly Father, who inspired the Servant of God, Fr. Patrick Ryan, former pastor of this parish, to be a model of charity in action during the yellow fever epidemic of 1878, grant, we beseech you, that his heroic charity be recognized by Your Church, and that he be elevated to the full honor of sainthood.
May we, too, be inspired by his example to that same measure of charity toward all our brothers and sisters in need.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
Amen.
