There are certain prayers that are fundamental to Roman Catholics and have been part of our life since childhood. We've posted four of these prayers that we feel are essential to have and to pass on to others.

When you click on any of the prayers in the blue box, a printable version will be shown so that you may have it for your own use, or to pass on to others.

To view these prayers you will need Adobe Acrobat® Reader®. Most likely, your computer is already equipped with this. To see if it is, just click on the prayer. If it does not open, just click on the icon below to download a free version of Acrobat® Reader® from Adobe.
