World Day of Prayer

Today is World Day of Prayer.

Education Director Mary-Catherine Kelly says students and staff with the Northwest Catholic District School Board will be recognizing the day this morning.

"World Day of Prayer is a worldwide ecumenical movement of people of many faith traditions around the world," says Kelly. "And what they done is come together for a common day of prayer each year and it's always on the first Friday in March."

Each year a different country serves as the writer of that prayer with this year coming from the African country of Cameroon.
