Surround the Missionaries with Prayer!

otocz modlitwą misjonarza

On the occasion of this year’s Mission Week, we are beginning the campaign, Surround the Missionaries with Prayer! This is a form of spiritual adoption of Franciscan missionaries from our Province. 

To participate in this campaign, just write us an email or letter with a declaration of your desire to pray for a missionary. We will send a prayer card to interested people. The prayer (in Polish) is for daily recitation. On the back of the card you will find the name and location of the missionary for whom you will pray.

The basic daily prayer for memorization is offered through the intercession of the blessed martyrs of Pariacoto and Saint Maximilian Kolbe – Franciscan missionaries pictured on the card – but there is nothing to prevent you from praying other prayers in spiritual support of your adopted missionary.

Join the campaign

All who are interested can send an email to misje@franciszkanie.pl. In the subject line, copy and paste the words ‘Otocz modlitwą misjonarza’ (i.e., ‘Surround the missionaries with prayer’). Your message should express your wish to pray for Franciscans working in the missions. To receive a prayer card (in Polish) with the name of a missionary, include your postal address.

To send a letter by mail, use this address:

Sekretariat Misyjny (OFMConv)

ul Zolkiewskiego 14, 31-539 Krakow

Copy and paste or write ‘Otocz modlitwą misjonarza’ in your note.
