Pope calls for October 7 to be Day of Prayer and Fasting for Peace

Pope calls for October 7 to be Day of Prayer and Fasting for Peace:

Pope Francis has called for a day of prayer and fasting on October 7, the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, and the one-year anniversary of the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war.

“In this dramatic hour of our history,” the Pope said, “while the winds of war and the fires of violence continue to devastate entire peoples and nations,” the Christian community is reminded of its call to “put itself at the service of humanity.”

Pope Francis has asked that we pray the Rosary for peace this (Monday) evening at 7:00p.m.

We also remember The Missionary Sisters of the Holy Rosary who are celebrating their centenary this year.
