Gate of Heaven Parish

Gate of Heaven Parish provides the sacraments to the Catholic faithful, especially the sacrifice of the Mass and Confession, so that they can grow in holiness and thus be pleasing to Almighty God.  We are here to help you deepen your friendship with Our Lord, Our Lady and all the saints so that you can more easily live out your call to holiness by the practice of our beautiful Catholic faith. Remember, "if you want to be holy be happy and if you want to be happy be holy!"

Almighty Father, you have firmly established your love for Gate of Heaven Parish and for each of us.  We praise and thank you for placing us amid the deep beauty of the North Country, a beauty that speaks eloquently of your glory and calls us to acknowledge your greatness and love.

O Lord, you have given our parish the opportunity and challenge of coming together as family, to be ambassadors of your grace to one another and to our farthest neighbor.  Grant us to respond lovingly and obediently to your call to seek justice in all our actions, to serve the poor in body and soul, and to share the good news of your Son, Jesus.

O Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, inflame our hearts with your love.  Broaden our vision and open our hearts to what you are bringing about.  Set our parish and the whole North Country on fire with your Holy Spirit, to bring about a renewed flourishing of our Catholic faith.  Amen.
