The following are prayer requests from the Holy Cross missionaries to the Holy Family Mission in Papua New Guinea, a new endeavor overseen by the Superior General of the Congregation of Holy Cross. We invite you to carry these intentions with you in your personal prayer or in your community’s liturgies.

• For unity of mind and heart for the Mission (Fr. Thomas John, C.S.C.)
• For the understanding of God’s will and the courage to fulfill it (Br. Victor Coraya, C.S.C.)
