Almighty God, 
my parish is composed of people like me.
I help make it what it is.

It will be friendly if I am.
It will be holy if I am.
Its pews will be filled if I help fill them.

It will do great work if I work.
It will be prayerful if I pray.
It will make generous gifts to many causes
if I am a generous giver.

It will bring other people into its worship
if I invite and bring them.

It will be a parish family of loyalty and love,
of fearlessness and faith,
of compassion, charity and mercy
if I - who make it what it is -
am filled with these same qualities.

Therefore, with the help of God,
I will dedicate myself to the task of being all
the things that I want my parish to be.

Bless my journey, Lord God,
that I might follow Jesus
and build the Church for Your glory.
