vision statement
Holding our Veterans in high regard, the Stars and Stripes Ministry strives
to honor and recognize these heroes and their families.
Through Christ, we seek to build relationships with them,
in our parish and in our community,
by showing our appreciation for their service
whether in peacetime or during war.
Stars and Stripes has created a "Corp of Compassion"
by extending our love of Christ to our Veterans and First Responders,
and those who care about them.

A PRAYER FOR OUR COUNTRY
Our Lady of the Americas, be pleased to protect our country from the dangers of war, greed, prejudice and injustice.
Help all who live in this great land to serve God faithfully, to respect His holy laws, to care for each other, and to reach out with love, caring and charity to our brothers and sisters who are in most need.
Grant that we may all live together in peace.
Amen.
