Day of Prayer. Fasting, and Abstinence for Peace in Israel -Tuesday, October 17th

Echoing the call of the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Bishop McManus has joined with his brother bishops in the United States in calling for a day of fasting, abstinence and prayer on Tuesday, October 17, for peace and reconciliation in the Holy Land amid a rapidly escalating war between Israel and Hamas.

Please consider taking some time on Tuesday to offer your own prayers for peace and, if possible, to fast or abstain in solidarity with those who are suffering in this crisis.
