Blessing for Arthritics Video – August 1

On Sunday, August 1st, the Feast Day of St. Alphonsus Liguori, founder of the Redemptorists,  we will be offering a special blessing through his intercession for those suffering from arthritis and other serious physical ailments. The blessing will be offered after each Mass along with prayer cards. There will be a short prayer after every Mass to ask the intercession of St. Alphonsus, who himself suffered from severe rheumatoid arthritis that left him permanently bent forward and wheelchair bound.

If you cannot attend the Blessing but would still like to receive a prayer card, you can go download a copy of the prayer at the link below or call the Redemptorist development office at 303-565-5450 to request a copy. A link to a video blessing is also included below.
