Several Special Events Scheduled For Deacon Daniel’s Prayer Vigil
As we prepare for Deacon Daniel’s Prayer Vigil, which begins tomorrow (Tuesday 30 March) after the 8:30 a.m. mass at St. Francis, and continues for 24 hours, we are asking for your assistance in promoting the vigil’s special events. Please attend as many of these events as you can — and please bring your family members! (Please email this information to your friends).
As of Saturday, all 48 prayer positions had been filled by 42 different petitioners, including many from SVdP. While we want at least 2 people praying at every hour through the 8:30 a.m. mass on Wednesday, we are hoping to see numerous people praying at every hour. Therefore, please know that even if you are not scheduled to pray, you are invited (and encouraged) to come and pray at your convenience, whether it’s for 5 minutes or a full hour.
You may send your personal message to Deacon Daniel and his family by writing in Deacon Daniel’s Prayer Vigil Journal, which will be available on the SVdP table near the narthex.
