Thanksgiving Prayer for the 100th year

Anniversary of the St. Joseph Parish in Lodi, New Jersey

O Holy Triune God, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, we adore You
and glorify You. We acknowledge Your presence and Your Holy Will in our parish
community. You have guided Your faithful from the beginning and wanted us to grow in
love and friendship of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, through the sacraments, in
particular, the Holy Eucharist. You have continually blessed us through the past years with
the help of the prayers and intercession of our beloved patron, St. Joseph. As we celebrate
our 100th year anniversary of the foundation of our parish, we offer to You, our loving God,
our hearts full of gratitude and joy, and we entrust in Your providential guidance the future
generations who will come to this parish that they too may experience Your love and mercy
and abundant blessings in their life. Grant this through Christ our Lord, Amen.

Saint Joseph, pray for us!

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the
beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
