Pope Francis has called for a day of prayer and fasting on October 7, the first anniversary of the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war.

“In this dramatic hour of  our history,” the Pope said, “while the winds of war and the fires of violence continue to devastate entire peoples and nations,” the Christian community is reminded of its call to "put itself at the service of humanity."

The Holy Rosary will be prayed in the Sancta Maria Stella Orientis Oratory on October 7 (Monday) at 4:45 pm. All are invited to join in order to support Pope Francis' request for prayers.
