A Sampling of What Subscribers Say About FCA’s General Intercession Services

“…by far the best service around: timely, relevant, topical and sensitive to the situations in different communities.

I like the variety of intentions and the ability to easily adapt them or leave out the ones that don’t do it for our community.

The lectors like the flow of the language and the people find them easy to follow….

It is so easy now instead of having to type out the whole thing.”

(Pastor in the Diocese of Rockville Centre)

“[Weekly prayers of the faithful…are well composed, spiritually sound, and liturgically crafted

to address the seasons and events of our Church, our world, our diocese and our parish.”

(Associate Pastor in the Diocese of Paterson)

 

“The intercessions themselves are well-crafted—beautifully worded and expressed.

Your list of events of note is an added bonus and tremendously helpful.”
