Prayer Service for Peace
In Solidarity with the People of Ukraine.
Dear Members of the Stonehill Community,
I invite us all on Ash Wednesday to heed the call of Pope Francis to observe a day of prayer and fasting as a means to end the war and violence in Ukraine.
“Let us not tire of praying,” the Pope recently said. “And with the same passion let us make gestures of peace wherever we are, together with every man and woman of good will; let us allow ourselves to be converted by the Holy Spirit to works of peace so that our lives may speak and be, in meekness and truth, a witness to mercy of which the Father grants us the gift.”
Campus Ministry invites members of the Stonehill community to a prayer service that will be held in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. The service will take place on March 2 at 12:45 p.m. outside the Chapel of Mary. I hope you can join us as we pray for a peaceful resolution to this ongoing conflict.
Yours in Holy Cross,
Rev. John Denning, C.S.C.
President
