Prayer Chain Starters:
The St. Michael's Parish Prayer Group meets monthly on Monday evenings, 7:30PM. We are affiliated with our Archdiocese Catholic Charismatic Renewal Office. At our meetings, we follow the structure suggested by that Office. We strive to serve the Parish Community through a ministry of prayer. We are dedicated to interceding for the entire Parish Community as a body and for individual parishioners who are in need. Every meeting begins with the Rosary, prayers to the Holy Spirit for guidance, and special prayers for our Priests. During our meetings, we dedicate time to reading Holy Scripture, singing hymns, and intercessory prayer. We oversee and maintain the Parish Prayer Chain and Petition Prayer Box. Prayer Chain petitions are verbal and meet the needs of those who feel the need for individual immediate prayers. Calls are placed with either of two Prayer Chain Starters and the petitions are passed through the Chain and prayed for ASAP. Prayer petitions can also be requested by email. The Prayer Box petitions are more anonymous and written, and are prayed for by the Prayer Group/Chain members. All Prayer Chain requests are written-up weekly and placed in the Prayer Box. The Prayer Box petitions are offered up with the Prayers of the Faithful at all our Masses. In addition, the written petitions are brought to the Prayer Meeting where they are prayed over one last time before being destroyed. We offer our women members retreats at San Alfonso's Retreat House and Loyola Retreat House (the men are offered an annual retreat at Loyola through the Men's Breakfast Group). In addition, we try to attend different prayer services and teachings held in our area as well as the ones offered by the Charismatic Renewal Office. Financially, we support our Parish, the NJ Catholic Charismatic Office, Cranford Family Care, Raphael's Life House, and other charitable organizations.
