Hurricane Season

Atlantic Hurricane Season is June 1 through November 30. It is marked by the formation of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean, Carribean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico that can cause loss of life and serious damage to property as the storms make landfall.

Through the intercession of Our Lady of Prompt Succor may we be spared damage to life and property during the hurricane season!

Prayer for Protection during Hurricane Season
O God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children.  The Sea of Galilee obeyed your order and returned to its former quietude; you are still the Master of land and sea.  We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control.  The Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant, can awake from its seeming lethargy, overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land and spread chaos and disaster.  During this hurricane season, we turn to You, O loving Father.  Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time.  O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your Son in our behalf, so that spared from the calamities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem where a storm-less eternity awaits us. Amen.
- Fr. Al Volpe, Cameron Parish, LA

Father, all the elements of nature obey your command. 
Calm the storms and hurricanes that threaten us

Prayer for Protection During Hurricane Season
 Lord Jesus Christ, our God in the flesh! As You saved Your apostles from perishing in a storm by calming wind and wave on Your command, so now keep us safe and sound during hurricane season. Grant us favorable and benign weather. Protect us from the unpredictable elements of nature. Spare us from storm, flood, fire, illness, injury, disaster and sudden death. Preserve us from all evil and harm, for we, though sinful, are nonetheless the work of Your hands — and You, together with Your Father who has no beginning and Your holy, good and life-giving Spirit, are our God, in whom we live, move and have our being, now and ever, and for ages and ages. Amen.
