Prayer and Penny Week — March 10-17, 2013
National Prayer Week will feature resources centered on the World Mission Rosary. Renamed “Prayer and Penny Week” — honoring the legacy of Pauline Jaricot who encouraged prayers and help for the Missions of her day (including our own country) — will be a key moment in our efforts to celebrate the Year of Faith. Pope Benedict XVI has asked for prayer to accompany this Year of Faith, specifically the prayer of the World Mission Rosary, created by Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. Prayer and Penny Week will feature daily reflections and suggestions for centering our prayers and our focus on the call to be missionaries and the needs of our mission family.
