CALL TO PRAYER - OUR PARTNER PARISH OF MARY IMMACULATE
IN VIQUEQUE
This community is facing a “twin crisis” - a health crisis and a humanitarian crisis, with evacuees from the latest storms and floods further at risk of contracting Covid-19 due to the influx of household members and large groups in shelters, because of the loss of housing and much devastation.
Please pray for our brothers and sisters at Mary Immaculate, in Viqueque, and the surrounding communities in East Timor.
Ask the Lord to ease the heavy rains, storms and floods, which have caused devastation and loss of lives for many families.
Pray that the churches and agencies, working on the ground can quickly bring aid and relief to where it is needed most, and that these people are blessed with wisdom, protection and strength as they assist those in the local communities.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
St Mary of the Angels Parish Geelong
