Dear friend,

Cross Catholic Outreach regularly prays for the intentions of our supporters and friends — every week, in fact — but we hold a special Day of Prayer all day on August 15, the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

In Mary, we find a model of the Church, and in the Assumption, she models our own destiny as people of faith. Just as she intercedes for us and brings us to her son, we follow Our Lady’s example and offer to the Father the prayers of our donors and ministry partners.

You’re invited to participate in our Day of Prayer by submitting your prayer intentions. Not only will Cross Catholic Outreach staff be praying on that day, but your intentions will also be included in a special Mass celebrated in Vatican City by Cardinal Konrad Krajewski on August 15!

It’s easy to participate — just click the link at the end of this email.

We are honored to pray for faithful supporters like you who empower us to share God’s love with poor families around the world. Please submit your intentions by July 31 to ensure that we can pass them along to the Vatican in time.

Thank you and God bless you!
