Prayer Vigil on the eve of

Papal Address to Congress

 

Wed., Sept. 23, 6:30-7:30

A time to pray together for wisdom for all of our leaders and ourselves as we commit to actions for life that create a just economy and address the critical challenge of climate change and climate justice.   September 23 is Yom Kippur in the Jewish tradition and important Holy Day of fasting and call to atonement.  A symbolic interfaith breaking of fast will begin the service. Bring your own candle.

 Simultaneous vigils being held around the US and in New Mexico in Silver City, Taos, Carlsbad, Gallup, Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and Ghost Ranch.

 Co-sponsored by New Mexico Interfaith Power and Light, New Mexico Conference of Churches, Catholic Charities, Interfaith Worker Justice of New Mexico and others…  At the national level coordinated by Interfaith Power and Light, Franciscan Action Network and Global Catholic Climate Movement.
