We wanted to let you know about a wonderful upcoming opportunity and encourage you to participate in the 29th Annual International Week of Prayer and Fasting.
The International Week of Prayer and Fasting campaign is both a grassroots movement of Catholics and other Christians from around the world participating in a global network of prayer and fasting, and an inspiring online conference featuring daily mass, 24/7 live adoration, 30 speakers, and more.
The goal is to mobilize churches, communities, schools, prayer groups, and clergy to pray and fast:
For the conversion of all people and nations
To build a culture of life
To defend the sanctity of marriage and family life
For peace and to implore God's mercy
For all priests, vocations, and holiness of the members of the Church
Historically the event has been hosted at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC. In 2020 and 2021 the conference has been hosted online. During the week of the event, all of the talks will be available to watch for free. Purchase their 'All Access Pass' for $39.99 and have access to all 30 videos as well as downloadable audio files.
"The IWOPF brings together people of all ages, backgrounds, and races. From October 23rd - October 31st, 2021, we gather to pray for an end to the “culture of death,” and for a newfound appreciation for basic human rights, particularly in the United States of America. By invoking the help of our Blessed Mother, the Virgin Mary, and by praying the Rosary, we play a crucial role in the conversion of nations and changing the course of world events."
Bishop Joseph Strickland (Diocese of Tyler, Texas) will offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass via livestream on Monday, October 25, and Bishop Thomas Olmsted (Diocese of Phoenix, Arizona) will close the Conference on Sunday, October 31, with a talk and will then lead Conference participants in a Prayer of Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus, Mary, and St. Joseph.
Some of the other speakers include Kathleen Beckman, Fr. Frank Pavone, Susan Brinkmann, Fr. Chris Alar, Susan Tassone, Fr. David Gunter, Monsignor Stephen Rosetti, Mother Gabrielle Marie, Fr. Tom Celso, Fr. Greg Bramlage, Fr. Timothy Byerley, Ted Flynn, and many more!
