PROJECTS
Prayers for Priests Calendar
Download Calendar - April 2010
Pope Benedict XVI declared a "Year for Priests" beginning with the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 19, 2009. The year will conclude in Rome with an international gathering of priests with the Holy Father from June 9 to 11, 2010. He is asking you to pray for our priests that they might always be faithful to their calling.
ACCW has joined with the Pope and all the faithful by publishing each month a 'Calendar' with the name of a specific priest (also lists his parish) that we all pray for on that date.
Ilegra Evans, who has taken on this project, also sends a nice card informing the priest that he is being prayed for. Wonderful 'thank you' letters have come back to us from the priests saying how appreciative they are for our prayers and how inspirational and strengthening it is to know they are getting our support.
We post a new Priests' Calendar every other month. Please join us in praying each day for the priest listed. The downloadable calendars below are in PDF format. Please click on the links above to see/download them.
Knitting / Crocheting for The Needy
This is a project which has resulted in many thousands of afghans being distributed to the homeless or others in need. It is is accomplished by women all over the archdiocese collecting scraps of yarn, knitting or crocheting them into squares and binding the squares together forming afghans. This very popular project is an inspiring example of the generosity of many people working together to accomplish a great good.
If you would like to participate in this very worthwhile project you can do so by donating yarn or knitting/crocheting. The directions on how the afghans are made, or any other information you may need, can be obtained from the ACCW office (213) 637-7394.
