Prayer Requests
Post here (scroll to the very bottom) and your prayer requests will appear below so all can pray for you.
Prayer is the practice of the presence of God. It is the place where pride is abandoned, hope is lifted, and supplication is made. Prayer is the place of admitting our need, of adopting humility, and claiming dependence upon God. Prayer is the needful practice of the Christian. Prayer is the exercise of faith and hope. Prayer is the privilege of touching the heart of the Father through His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. James 4:8
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:6-7

My name is Shane O’Brien. I am the Bookkeeper for St. Paul Parish; I also coach football at Mater Dei High School. We recently got news that one of our football players, Kane Weinberg, has cancer. There are still doing tests for more details as to what type of cancer it is and to gather more details. For now what I know is that he has a fairly large tumor in his chest between the heart and lungs. Kane is it Barns Children’s hospital in St. Louis and he is in surgery right now. It sounds like they are going to take piece of the tumor to find out what they are dealing with. I wanted to put a prayer request in the St. Paul prayer chain. Please keep Kane and his family in your thoughts and prayers as he battles through these tough times. I know he has tons of support through his immediate family, football family, and friends. Thank you for your support. Together we will win this battle!
