Prayers
Prayers
We pray in thanksgiving for the gift of Catholic education at Incarnation Catholic School. We remember and lift up all of the teachers, administrators, staff, students, families, and priests past and present that have helped and are helping to make ICS the AMAZING school it is.
We pray for our ICS 8th graders, the Class of 2015, as they enter their last semester here at ICS! May they recognize the blessing that they are to our school, and may they continue to share their gifts and talents with their ICS family for the next semester and beyond!
We pray for Isaac Rosa's (Gr. 4) grandfather, Pablo Avilez, who is in critical condition due to a heart illness. May Mr. Avilez and the Rosa family feel God's healing hand, love and strength during this difficult time.
Have a prayer request? Send it to: icsmzele@icstampa.org. Prayers will run for two weeks unless otherwise specified.
Thank You
Thank you to Fr. Michael, Fr. Philip and Fr. Jairo for their pastoral leadership of our Parish and School and for all of the support our ICC priests lend to ICS! We are incredibly blessed to have a group of priests so dedicated to Catholic education! May God continue to bless you, Incarnation priests, in your respective ministries!
