During this time of crisis, many people seek solace in the comfort and the power of prayer.  And many people need our prayers.  St. Timothy’s is inaugurating a new prayer line, where parishioners can request prayers for others. 

Additionally, we are seeking parishioners who wish to participate actively in  praying for the intentions that people have offered.  We invite your participation in this effort!

To submit a prayer to our prayer line, you can simply e-mail your prayer intention to the following address:  prayerline@sttim.net
If you do not have access to e-mail and want to submit a prayer by phone, please call the parish office  (781-769-2522). Prayers that are submitted will be printed out and placed in our parish book of prayer, so that any time Mass is offered, these intentions are also offered up.

In addition, we hope to distribute these prayers to parishioners who volunteer to be part of a dedicated prayer line ministry.  These individuals would then pledge to pray for those intentions.  If you would like to volunteer to be a part of this prayer team, please contact Colleen by e-mail: CNCampion@yahoo.com or by phone: 781-769-2522,x 28

Often when people need our prayers, their situations can be delicate and require confidentiality. Each person can have a different comfort level with how much information is revealed about their need for prayer. It is very important to respect this desire for confidentiality.
When submitting a prayer to our prayer line, please keep the following parameters in mind so that we are safeguarding people’s privacy and respecting confidentiality when we do seek prayer.

1. Please use first names ONLY, or no names at all,  when asking for prayers for a specific person.
2. It is a good idea to ask the person for whom you are praying if they mind if you add their intention to our prayer line.
3. Please keep intentions relatively brief and keep details very general.  For example: 

1. Please pray for John who is ill. 
2. Please pray for Susan who is going through a tough time. 
3. Please pray for my nephew who is unemployed.
4. Please pray for my neighbor, who is a nurse in the ICU, that he and all other medical personnel will remain healthy and safe.

 These are just possible examples of formatting.The main idea is to offer that prayer to the group, who in turn will all offer that prayer to God.
 
Additionally, we welcome any prayers of a more general nature that you may have composed on your own, perhaps reflecting the spiritual needs of the time for all people.We would be happy to share those with other parishioners as well.
