Parish Prayer Line

The nearly 20 parishioners who give of their time to the St. Joseph Prayer Line will offer prayers at your request.

The Prayer Line works like a telephone tree. When one of the ministry heads receives a call or e-mail, the request is passed from person-to-person until the final volunteer contacts the coordinator

If you have a prayer request, please call Sandy Donley, 815-932-5333, or Gert Aubbery, 815-932-8902. All prayer requests are confidential.

Requests often come from those battling illnesses and/or family members, those seeking favorable medical test results, those experiencing family difficulties and relationship problems, those burdened by financial stresses and unemployment, those grappling with the death of someone, those battling addictions and those dealing with overwhelming circumstances beyond one’s control.

The idea is that the weight of these troubles does not remain solely on the caller, but shared by all those involved in the Prayer Line. Prayer requests are also regularly made by those who want to thank God for the various blessings in their lives and following outcomes from previous calls.

If you have a prayer request, you can also detail it in an e-mail to: sage64@att.net.tAll requests are confidential.

Each request can include as much or as little information as you wish for the Prayer Line.
