A.Introduction
a)
To the Holy Mass
Dear Sisters and
Brothers in Christ,
Good morning!
Welcome to
Saint Dominic’s Parish Church for the Sunday Holy Mass celebration. Today we honor the birth of Saint John the Baptist. The saint was called by God from his mother’s
womb to be the forerunner of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. He fulfilled his mission of a witness to the
saving truth of Christ by shedding his blood.
We pray to
the Lord for the blessing of faithfulness to Him to the end after the example
of Saint John.
Please all
stand for the entrance hymn.
