A prayer, if you would, for our parish St. Basil the Great in Irving (Dallas), TX.
It has been without a priest for a year in a few days. So far it has been served by a mix of retired and active priests willing to drive over 300 miles to celebrate the liturgy on Sunday, but word has come that this rotation will not go on much longer. As it is there is no one to catechize those who want to enter the Church, those scheduled to be married are receiving spotty if any preparation, and weekday services of any kind are non-existent.
This is a sad state of affairs as we were once a very successful evangelical parish with many new converts.

Prayers that St Basil's be restored to the fullness of its pastoral service and be gifted with a presbyter to lead its families in their life of prayer and the service of the Mysteries
"One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."

The fields are ripe and ready for the harvest. Pray to the Lord of the harvest to send laborers, and, once called, to have them ORDAINED and sent to serve!
