✝️JOIN US TOMORROW - POPE LEO'S DAY OF PRAYER & FASTING FOR PEACE🕊️

✝️JOIN US TOMORROW - POPE LEO'S DAY OF PRAYER & FASTING FOR PEACE🕊️

Pope Leo XIV has called for a global Day of Fasting and Prayer this Friday, August 22nd, on the Feast of the Queenship of Mary.

The Holy Father has especially asked us to remember Ukraine and The Holy Land where countless lives are torn apart by violence, war and hunger. He also reminds us not to forget those many more countries caught up in other conflicts, in places such as Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Yemen, and the many regions around the world where violence and war are occurring daily.



In Pope Leo’s own words, may our prayers help to “wipe away the tears of those who suffer because of ongoing armed conflicts,” and may Mary, Queen of Peace, intercede for us all so that nations can find the path of peace.

You are invited to join us tomorrow in whatever way you can; through fasting, attending Mass, or simply taking a moment in the day to pray before the Lord for those places in the world that are torn apart by violence and for the people who are most in need of His justice and peace.

Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray For Us!
