For all of the girls' years of middle school, I was in charge of the Student Request Prayer Ministry: a beautiful way to serve both the students and the parents of the school. It involved meeting at 2:30 on Fridays in the beautiful School Chapel and praying the Rosary for any requests places in the prayer box. At the student Mass on Fridays, the box was brought up to the altar during the Presentation of the Gifts and remained there for the entire Liturgy of the Eucharist. The only reason why this ministry ended was that our Franciscans left the parish, only to be replaced by diocesan priests who turned our school chapel into a health room. The end of this ministey broke many hearts, including mine.
