The Deaf Apostolate Office has eliminated the manual mailing of our Deaf Mass Schedules, Newsletters and special updates as cost saving measures. Beginning with the 2015 year, we will be sending all announcements, schedules and newsletters by e-mail (except for those who do not have computers). Please send us your name and e-mail address to: vgassistant@rockforddiocese.org. Also notify us if you change your e-mail. Thank you!

Prayer For Religious Liberty

Almighty God, Father of all nations,
For freedom you have set us free in Christ Jesus (Gal 5:1).
We praise and bless you for the gift of religious liberty,
the foundation of human rights, justice, and the common good.
Grant to our leaders the wisdom to protect and promote our liberties;
By your grace may we have the courage to defend them, for ourselves
and for all those who live in this blessed land.
We ask this through the intercession of Mary Immaculate, our patroness,
and in the name of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
with whom you live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
