Kiwi Catholics prayed for at the Vatican… add your name to the list

Tuesday, November 1st, 2016

This month Cardinal John Dew, President of Bible Society New Zealand (BSNZ), will be praying for New Zealanders who have requested prayer at St Peter’s in the Vatican, Rome. And there’s still time for him to pray for you!

Cardinal Dew will be attending the closing Mass for the Jubilee Year of Mercy which will be celebrated by Pope Francis, and will have with him a special book containing the names of those who have taken part in Bible Society’s Poverty and Justice Bible campaign.

This is the second time Cardinal Dew has personally prayed for Kiwis in Rome. Last year he prayed specifically for those who had requested prayer at his titular church – Sant’Ippolito, where he is Cardinal-Priest.

BSNZ has been collecting names and prayer requests throughout 2016. And there is still time to participate. To submit a prayer request for Cardinal John Dew please visit www.povertyandjustice.nz and fill out the form.
