Did you know that in dioceses throughout the United States, January 22 is designated as a Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Children? As Catholics we are called to observe this day through the penitential practices of prayer, fasting and/or giving alms, in a way similar to our Lenten practices. Learn more about how you can participate at https://www.worcesterdiocese.org/jan-22-day-of-prayer.
