Each year, the Holy Father invites Catholics worldwide to join in prayer for specific monthly intentions, reflecting the needs of the Church and the world. The Archdiocese of Brisbane invites you to pray with members of our local faith community in these global prayer requests, uniting us in a global spiritual mission.
By participating, we respond to the Pope’s call to bring Christ’s compassion and hope to our world. Together, we form a powerful spiritual movement, fostering unity and shared purpose in addressing both global challenges and local concerns.
In times of urgent need, the Holy Father may add special intentions, allowing us to respond promptly with prayer and action to critical situations, embodying the Church’s commitment to social justice and compassion.
