This was the prayer published on the occasion of our 100th Anniversary. The full text reads:
O Lord Jesus Christ, Shepherd and Bishop of our souls, be with us, we pray thee, during this joyous season when we mark the One Hundredth Anniversary of our Parish. Preserve us in unity and peace. Bring to us all who, because of their nearness to us, should belong to this especial flock. Move us to welcome them with heart and hand. May none who are now with us ever be alienated from us, and God grant we may all be knit together in one holy fellowship, serving thee with one heart and mind.
May no lack of zeal for wisdom hinder the work of this venerable Parish, and may its Centenary find us more and more in accord with all that is true and just and of good report. Strengthen and confirm the faithful, visit and relieve the sick, tun and soften the wicked, rouse the careless, recover the fallen and restore the penitent. Send down upon its clergy the continual dew of the blessing, and grant to those who worship hear the healthful spirit of thy grace. Remove every hindrance to the advancement of thy truth, and grant that all our doings, being ordered by thy governance, may be righteous in thy sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
