“Heavenly Father, hear our prayer. Moved by your Holy Spirit dwelling within our hearts, we humbly ask you, Father, to bless the Diocese of Scranton at this time of profound parish renewal.” - from the Prayer for the Diocese of Scranton
All priests of the diocese of Scranton have been mandated by Bishop Martino to read this prayer in place of a proper collect at the conclusion of the General Intercessions at all Sunday and holy day liturgies. The renewal, however, remains elusive, as evidenced by the following lists:
