World Day of the Sick

On February 11 each year, the Catholic Church promotes compassion for sick people and recognition of their caregivers.

In his message for the 34th World Day of the Sick, Pope Leo has chosen as his theme “The compassion of the Samaritan: loving by bearing another’s pain”. He reminds us that caring for the sick “ is to love God through deeds”.

Join us in keeping the sick and all who care for the sick in our thoughts and prayers.
