This report comes to us from team leader Darren with our Ithaca-Immaculate Conception parish team in NY:

This past weekend, our team took the opportunity to evangelize outside of Immaculate Conception while the annual Winter Holiday Bash took place around the corner in Ithaca Commons. With events like Santa’s arrival in the Commons, we were hoping to get more foot traffic coming our way — and we were not disappointed! Despite the cold, our evangelists were able to have some incredible conversations and encounters, and strongly felt the intercession of the Blessed Mother on the eve of the (usual) date of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception.

Here are some prayer intentions from our outing, as well as a recent previous outing:

J: A bike rider who was hit by a car twice. He suffers from a traumatic brain injury and is disabled. He needs prayers for healing and help with resources.
S and L: They are homeless and living at the shelter at Key Bank building. They asked for prayers for housing, safety, and basic needs.
M: She said she doesn’t believe in God, but she took a brown scapular and a Holy Family medal. We told her we would pray for her as she finishes her last year at Cornell.
Anonymous: Pray that people don’t lose their Social Security, including a man named R.
Anonymous: Pray for the deceased Matthew Basile.
R: That he returns to Mass and renews his devotion to our Blessed Mother.
J: “Please pray for Connie, for her health and that she has many blessings to come her way, and for me as I just became homeless and am trying to get back on my feet.”
V: “That I can be released into the next realm to be with my Dios forever and always, as I am ready to go home and life is no longer generally pleasant.”
K: To heal.

Praised be Jesus Christ!
