The St. Joseph Choir has been complemented for doing well in singing. They have been invited to sing in public functions and other private functions in funerals. In the previous years, they have been invited to sing at Palau National Congress, singing Christmas songs on OTV Television, including attending the World Youth Day in Australia in 2008.

St. Joseph Choir has made two CDs (songs in English, Palauan, and Sonsolese). The CDs are being sold to help the construction of the new church and other church activities. The CDs are available at the Catholic Mission Office. You may email Blandina Yangilmau (blandina@palaunet.com) if you are interested in buying a CD.

PRAY FOR THE SICK IN OUR COMMUNITY

PRAYER FOR THE SICK

Lord, our God, you sent your Son into the world to bear our infirmities and to endure our sufferings. For your servants who are sick, we ask that your blessing will give them strength to overcome their weakness through the power of patience and the comfort of hope that with your aid they will soon be restored to health. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Novena To St. Peregrine

Glorious wonder-worker, St. Peregrine, you answered the divine call with a ready spirit, and forsook all the comforts of a life of ease and all the empty honors of the world to dedicate yourself to God in the Order of His holy Mother. You labored manfully for the salvation of souls. In union with Jesus crucified, you endured painful sufferings with such patience as to deserve to be healed miraculously of an incurable cancer in your leg by a touch of His divine hand.

Obtain for me the grace to answer every call of God and to fulfill His will in all the events of life. Enkindle in my heart a consuming zeal for the salvation of all men. Deliver me from the infirmities that afflict my body (especially.....).

Obtain for me also a perfect resignation to the sufferings it may please God to send me, so that, imitating our crucified Savior and His sorrowful Mother, I may merit eternal glory in heaven.

St. Peregrine, pray for me and for all who invoke your aid.

PRAYER FOR PRIESTS

O Almighty Eternal God, Look upon the face of Thy Christ, and for the love of Him, Who is the Eternal High Priest, have pity on yours priests. Remember, O most compassionate God, that they are but weak and frail human beings. Stir up in them the grace of their vocation which is in them by the imposition of the Bishop’s hands. Keep them close to you, lest the enemy prevail against them, so that they may never do anything in the slightest degree unworthy of their sublime vocation.

O Jesus, I pray to you, for your faithful and fervent priests; for your unfaithful and tepid priests; for your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields; for your tempted priests, for your lonely and desolate priests; for your young priests; for your aged priests; for your sick priests; for your dying priests; for the souls of your priests in purgatory.

But above all, I commend to you the priests dearest to me: the priest who baptized me; the priests who absolved me from my sins; the priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me your Body and Blood in Holy Communion; the priests who taught and instructed me or helped and encouraged me; all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way, particularly

Our priests in Palau Fr. Rusk Saburo, Fr. John Paul Ililau, and all the priests in our Diocese of the Carolines.

O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart, and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity. Amen.
