The service, which will be offered in the presence of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, will include community prayer, readings from sacred scripture, moments of personal prayer, the Holy Father’s message to the Church, music and Benediction. Please answer the call to pray for peace with your fellow Catholics around the world – we hope to see you then!

All are welcome.
