Co-Leaders: Nelson Trujillo, MD and Sr. Kathleen Griffin, snjm, Pastoral Associate

As a result of our Parish retreat in the fall of 2008, steps were taken to initiate a Healing Prayer Ministry at Annunciation Parish.  Those who felt called to this service gathered for over ten sessions of training and prayer before offering the ministry to the parish at large.

Our Mission statement proclaims: “Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we exist as a parish to further God’s reign in all our members through worship, education and prayer. We come together to minister to all God’s people in healing and reconciling love.”

The Healing Prayer Ministry is seeking to advance our Mission through prayer.  We are dedicated to praying with those in need of healing in the physical, emotional and spiritual areas of their lives and to teaching others about this aspect of Christ’s Ministry.

We are presently doing prayer with laying on of hands after the liturgy on a monthly basis.  We are expecting to develop prayer by appointment for a more extensive prayer time.  Essential to this Ministry is the formation of an Intercessory prayer group that will provide intercessory prayers for parishioner’s intentions as well as the Prayer Ministry. We are in the initial phase of organizing this group.

The Healing Prayer Ministry meets on a monthly basis for catechesis and prayer. We will use this web site for further information, announcements and events.
