PRAYER CALENDAR FOR FATHER DAN AND ALL MISSIONARIES
Father Dan is now serving as Chaplain for the Sisters of Mary all over the world (www.WorldVillages.org). We would like to invite you or your family to unite with us in praying for Father Dan, the Sisters of Mary, and all Missionary priests and religious - for the first 365 days that he will be away (July 8, 2020 - July 7, 2021). Please click below if you would like to select ONE day that will be YOUR (or your family's) day to pray/fast/sacrifice for Missionaries! (We will renew the calendar with new sign-ups in July 2021!)
We will be creating a calendar of names to present to the Sisters so that they, too, can unite in prayer with us throughout the year.
NOTE: We had to split the year into 2 different sign-ups due to limitations with Sign-up Genius. PLEASE CHOOSE ONE DAY ONLY so we can have at least 365 individual or family Prayer Warriors! (If we fill all the days, we will add additional slots.)
Don't forget your day! You will receive a reminder email the day before - so please be sure to sign up with an email that you check frequently.
