A special prayer for the 175th anniversary of the Archdiocese of Toronto:

Loving Father,

we turn to you with gratitude for the many blessings
you have generously bestowed upon the people of the
Archdiocese of Toronto,

who from the very beginning have arrived here from
many nations to find and strengthen a community of faith,

where we have been able to encounter your Son
in our joys and sorrows.

As the Archdiocese celebrates its 175th anniversary,

we ask you to continue to bless your people
with the gifts of the Holy Spirit,

so that all clergy, religious and faithful may be gathered
and strengthened in their mission of constantly proclaiming
the wonderful works of salvation to all we meet.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
