Gate of Heaven Parish

We are here to help you deepen your friendship with Our Lord, Our Lady and all the saints so that you can live out your call to holiness by the love of God and neighbor.  Even if what we do for God remains hidden and small, so long as we do it with love, it will be very pleasing to Almighty God.  Mother Theresa of Calcutta said, " Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love."  Let us pray for one another!  If you are new in the area, please introduce yourself after mass or swing by the rectory for a visit! May God bless you and Our Lady keep you!

Fr. Matthew Schultz 

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.

Memorare 

REMEMBER, O most compassionate Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I kneel, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
