Prayer Line
Who We Are & What We Do
Want to make a difference but don’t have the time to commit to meetings or events? St. Ann’s Prayer Line is the perfect ministry for you! No meetings, no dues, no restrictions—just a simple yet powerful way to support others through prayer. Our volunteers, known as “pray-ers,” receive prayer requests by email and lift up those in need in their own way and on their own time. Whether it’s for the sick, grieving, unemployed, or anyone facing struggles, every prayer makes a difference.
Why We Exist
The Apostle Paul reminds us in 1 Timothy 2:1-2, “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people….” Intercessory prayer is a beautiful way to express love for othersand support their spiritual well-being. By praying for those in need, we create a stronger, more compassionate community rooted in faith.
Who We Serve
St. Ann’s Prayer Line welcomes any and all prayer requests, covering a wide range of needs—from physical healing to emotional support, job struggles, and personal intentions. Unlike the prayer intentions listed in the bulletin or shared at Mass (which are handled by Pastoral Care), our prayer requests are emailed to our group using only first names and last initials to respect privacy. This ensures many voices are quietly lifting each intention to God.
Volunteer Opportunities
Becoming a “pray-er” is easy! There’s no time commitment—you simply receive prayer requests via email and pray whenever and however you choose. Emails may come multiple times a day, a few times a week, or less frequently, depending on the number of requests. There’s no pressure—just the opportunity to bring comfort and hope through prayer.
Special Requirements
There are no special requirements—all you need is an email address and a willing heart to pray for those in need. If you feel called to support others through prayer, we’d love to have you join St. Ann’s Prayer Line. Your prayers, no matter how simple, can change lives.
