World Day of Prayer today
As people of faith in God, we turn to God in prayer not only for ourselves, but also for the many needs we see around us — locally, nationally and in the larger world that we’re a part of. The sufferings, the struggles of so many, the situations of those who recognize their inability to find meaning for their lives without divine assistance and the darkness that threatens to dim the light of hope are just a few of what can motivate us all to seek God’s help. We would invite persons in our area of all faiths to offer prayer on March 3 for the needs that we experience and see around us. As a World Day of Prayer, please join us for a day filled with prayer, either individually or together with others. There are opportunities to gather at various places in the community. Please see posters around town with the information or Contact Father Tom Rush, OMI at 262-4749, option 3, or Leslie Rohr at LOVE, INC, 283-5683.
