Week of Prayer for World Peace 2024
2024 is the 50th anniversary of the Week of Prayer for World Peace, which started in 1974 and now welcomes every one of any faith, or none, to take part.
The 2024 Week will start on Sunday the 13 October and run through to Sunday 20 of October. The events during the Week include an interfaith service at Saint Patrick’s Church, 4 Munroe Street, Napier South, on Sunday 13 October at 4.0 pm, to which everyone of any faith, or none, is invited. No admission charge.
A booklet with prayers and readings from many different faiths and traditions, for each day of the Week, can be found on Facebook at WPWPNZ2014.
There will also be a program on Radio Hawke’s Bay about the Week of Prayer, Mondays after the 2.00 pm news and weather during October. Frequencies are 104.7 FM, 1431 AM, or on the internet radiohawkesbay.org.nz...
