Pastors of the BVM of Częstochowa Parish, Albany, NY

We offer praise and thanks to Almighty God for sending workers into the field to gather the harvest. The Blessed Virgin Mary of Czestochowa Parish has been blessed with the loving kindness and guidance of the shepherds the Lord has sent.

We pray for all these men, living and deceased.

For the living we pray that the Lord grant them strength and courage so that they may fearlessly proclaim His Word and shepherd His people.

For the deceased we pray that Your Bishops and Priests, who have ministered lovingly to Your people, may stand before You in the company of Your Saints and Angels forever praising Your Name. Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord. And may the perpetual light shine upon them.
