Join Us for the National Day of Prayer for Peace! In 2016, the USCCB called for a National Day of Prayer to be observed each year on September 9th, the Feast of St. Peter Claver. This initiative was introduced as a means to foster open, honest, and respectful dialogue within communities facing heightened tensions and acts of violence. The Feast of St. Peter Claver is an occasion for increased prayer and action to strive for peace in our communities.

The U.S. Bishops’ Ad Hoc Committee Against Racism offers a range of prayer resources to support Catholics in seeking the conversion of hearts and to address the sin of racism. These materials are designed to guide parishes and individuals in meaningful prayer and reflection, especially on the Feast of St. Peter Claver.
