Join us at Saint Mary's Church for an Evening of Prayer for Persecuted Christians

DENVILLE, N.J. - Aug. 10, 2015 - PRLog -- Bishop Arthur Serratelli from the Paterson Diocese of New Jersey, has designated August as a "Diocesan wide month of prayer for those suffering religious persecution.”

As Pope Francis recently remarked, "The dramatic news...about violence, kidnapping...and harassment against Christians and other groups does not stop. We want to assure those involved in these situations that we do not forget them, but we are close to them and pray insistently that, very quickly, the intolerable brutality of which they are victims is put to an end." (Angelus, May 1, 2015).

St. Bernard, one of the Saints we celebrate in the month of August had a deep faith in the power of prayer, and in the intercession of the Blessed Mother. “In danger, in distress, in uncertainty,” he says, “think of Mary, call upon Mary.”

In this spirit we will gather in prayer to “strengthen those who suffer persecution and move the hearts of those who oppress them to embrace a life of peace.” -Bishop Arthur Serratelli
