SAINT OF THE MONTH:
Enmegahbowh, Priest and Missionary, 1902
Almighty God, who didst lead thy pilgrim people of old by fire and cloud: Grant that the ministers of thy church, following the example of thy servant Enmegahbowh, may lead thy people with fiery zeal and gentle humility; through Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
