Life Safety Ministry Mission

Provide education to all parishioners in crisis management procedures which include medical emergency, bad weather, and intruder.
 

There are three patron saints we call on to aid us in our mission.

Medical Emergency

St. Raphael the Archangel - Patron saint of medical workers

The word Raphael in Hebrew can be rendered as “God heals,” “Divine Healer,” or “Remedy of God.” His angelic mission on earth is to heal.  In the book of Tobit, the Holy Archangel Raphael was sent to Tobias to heal his blindness and to Sarah to rid her of demons.
Prayer to the Holy Archangel Raphael.
Standing so close to the throne of God and offering Him our prayers, we wish to love and obey you as young Tobias did.  We want you to be our guide and counsellor and we entreat you, to help us with medical problems and decisions of the Life Safety Ministry. Defend us from all dangers and direct us always in the way of peace, safety, and salvation. Help us to love and serve God faithfully, amen.
 

Bad Weather

St. Joseph - Patron Saint of Families
Prayer to St. Joseph
Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God. I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.
 

 
Intruder
St. Michael the Archangel - Patron Saint of Protection

Then war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. The dragon and his angels also fought, but he could not prevail, and there was no place for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was thrown out—the ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the one who deceives the whole world. He was thrown to earth, and his angels with him.
Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
Holy Archangel St. Michael, defend us in battle. 
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. 
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,  and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, 
by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world 
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
