Invite councils to participate in 12 Hours of Prayer for Palliative Care using the national resources available. See the enclosed Supplement to 12 Hours of Prayer for Palliative Care.  

Hosted by Karen Rossiter, National Chairperson of Faith With speaker Sister LIbby Osgood, CND.  Through reflection, visio divina and small group discussion, we will consider the national theme prayerfully and collaboratively. What does it mean to ignite our passion? How are we poor in spirit? How can we individually and collectively work to empower His mission? Sister Libby Osgood, a sister with the Congregation of Notre Dame and engineering professor at the University of Prince Edward Island, will lead us in prayer and reflection.

WUCWO Day ENG 116 years committed to peace This year, the liturgy for 13 May, WUCWO Day, has been prepared by the North America Region; our special thanks go to our Regional Vice President, Barbara Dowding. The liturgy is simply a proposal and may be adapted to each situation and context. It may be celebrated on 13 May itself or on any other date, according to what best suits your organisation. What matters is that this occasion helps us become more aware of our belonging to WUCWO; to give thanks for the fruits achieved and to ask the Lord for his light for the steps ahead, and to strengthen our desire to walk together in our commitment to peace and in the shared mission of evangelisation and the integral development of women throughout the world. https://wucwo.org/en/wucwo-day-2026/
