National Day of Prayer for Children takes place today Friday, the 14th Oct.
Organised by the Society for Missionary Children, the occasion gives children a good opportunity to think of those children who are less fortunate, to pray for those less fortunate and to share with those less fortunate.
Children love to know that they are important members of a global circle of praying, sharing and caring, in this, the Mission Month of October. They have generous hearts, missionary hearts, and so are open to the idea of including other little children in their thoughts.
The National Day of Prayer is now in its ninth year.   For further information on the Society of Missionary Children or to make a donation please visit www.wmi.ie
CLONMACNOIS PRAYER EVENT Sun  23rd Oct  3.00pm All welcome to Clonmacnois to celebrate with song and praise  the beauty of God’s Creation  and Universal Harmony.
