The International Week of Prayer and Fasting campaign is a grassroots movement that gathers Catholics and other Christians from around the world to participate in a global network of prayer and fasting.
Our goal is to mobilize churches, communities, schools, prayer groups, and clergy to pray and fast:
The International Week of Prayer and Fasting is in its 32nd year, and we gather together people of all ages, backgrounds, and races. From October 12th – October 20th, 2024, we unite to pray for a peace in the world, for the conversion of all people and nations, and to build a culture of life, and for a newfound appreciation for basic human rights throughout the world.
By invoking the help of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Mother, the Queen of Peace, she will lead us in battle, and together we will play a crucial role in the conversion of nations and changing the course of world events. We unite to participate in and promote Holy Mass, the Holy Rosary, Adoration, Fasting, Confession, and the Divine Mercy Chaplet.
St. John Paul II gave two Apostolic Blessings to the organizing entities and all the participants, the first in 1997 and the second in 2001.
Pope Francis gave his Apostolic Blessing to all of the participants of the 22nd International Week of Prayer and Fasting.
” … As a pledge of an abundance of Divine Blessings upon you and yours, I paternally impart to all participants of the International Week of Prayer and Fasting my most heartfelt apostolic blessings…”
