World Day against Trafficking in Persons
“Happy are those who hunger for justice”
Let us pray…
…for men, women, and children, victims of forced labor
…for men, women, and children, abused in cotton plantations, in sweat shops, in rivers poisoned by mine exploitation
“Happy are those who hunger for justice”

What: Peggy, Mary Ann Rossi, and Ann Marie Strileckis are arranging a “pray and play” day for young women from 18-35. The day will begin with prayer, include lunch, provide beach time, and end with prayer. (Sunday Mass is not in the plan.)
