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/
