A Special Message from Bishop Barber for a Day of Prayer and Fasting for Peace, October 17, 2023.

Dear brother priests, Chancery and Parish staff:
 
I urge you all to please invite your parish community to join in a Day of Prayer and Fasting for Peace.
 
The Assembly of Catholic ordinariates of the Holy Land is urgently asking all to join them in a day of prayer and fasting for peace on October 17. The letter from the Patriarch of Jerusalem with more information can be found here: https://www.lpj.org/posts/a-day-of-fasting-and-prayer.html
 
Let us lift up our prayers for all those suffering, for peace, and reconciliation.
 
Sincerely yours in Christ,
 
The Most Reverend Michael C. Barber, S.J.
Bishop of Oakland
