“God Knows You Completely”
Memorial of Saint Ignatius of Antioch
Day of Prayer
We invite you to participate in the
2026 Day of Prayer for the Health and Wellness of Clergy and Men and Women Religious
The Day of Prayer was created to recognize and provide spiritual support to our devoted clergy and men and women religious who tirelessly serve our Church and the people of God. The day will also serve as a powerful reminder of the significance of self-care, healing, maintaining a strong spiritual foundation, and promoting a supportive environment for men and women who serve us through their vocations. Please join us as we lift up our Church Ministers in prayer.
