Question 1

What is a Day of Prayer?

Accepted Answer

Given the current climate of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have postponed our Giving Day 2020 until further notice.  Instead, we decided to use this time, while most of us are isolated from the outside world, to come together in prayer.We are hosting a 24-hour day of prayer on Friday, April 17th to celebrate and honor the birth of our foundress, St. Marguerite Bourgeoys.  During this time of uncertainty we look to Marguerite to guide us, as she was a pioneer in the face of great uncertainty as she founded the Congregation de Notre Dame in the new world.

Question 2

What is the goal for the Day of Prayer?

Accepted Answer

The ultimate goal is simple: the NDA community coming together, virtually, in prayer and thoughtfulness.  In honor of St. Marguerite Bourgeoys’s 400th jubilee, we would love to receive 400 prayers or intentions to send out into the world on Friday, April 17th.
