The Prayer Group, whose patron saint is the Protection of the Theotokos, was introduced to St. Gregory’s in 2004 and is one of the newest programs at St. Gregory’s. The Prayer Group serves the parish and anyone who needs prayers, whether Orthodox Christian or another denomination.
The Group is assisted by about 19 members who take requests from anyone. The group often prays for people around the world, including Greece, Russia and Iraq.
Prayer requests can be placed on a request form found at the back of the church.
- Anniversaries and Birthdays
- Those who are pregnant
- Health
- Comfort
- Strength and Guidance
- Catechumens
- Departed
- and Traveling
The requests are distributed to the members of the group who are asked to pray at home as often as they are able for those on their list.
Typically, between 80 and 100 people are on the Prayer List at a time.
The group serves as an important part of the parish. Those who have been prayed for and those who have requested the prayers are thankful for the prayers and indicate how much the prayers help.
