Catholic Prayer Service for Inauguration

With hope and gratitude, we share this brief CATHOLIC PRAYER SERVICE FOR THE INAUGURATION 2021 that we participated in on January 17.

"In this time of great tension in our nation, we look to our loving Creator for comfort and guidance. We remember the words of nonviolent peacemaker Dr. Martin Luther King, 'True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the
presence of justice.' And we remember the teaching of Pope Paul VI who said, 'If you want peace, work for justice.'"
