National Day of Prayer for Children – 12 October 2007

Posted on 05. Oct, 2007

The Society of Missionary Children, which is a Pontifical and Episcopal Society, is 164 years old and has been active in Ireland for the last 154 years.  The motto for the Society is: “Children helping Children”, and in effect children are encouraged to pray for, and share with, children growing up in mission countries.
 
The National Day of Prayer will take place on Friday 12 October next and it aims to introduce prayer for mission work into children’s lives.  Bishops encourage all parents, teachers and children to join together in prayer so that the Day of Prayer will be a wonderful occasion to spur us all on to work for a world which will give all children the hope of a worthy future.
