Let us continue to remember in our prayers:

• Our generous benefactors who help us by their prayers and sacrifice and the funding agencies who respond to our requests.  

• Our recently deceased sisters, loved ones and those who have died due to war and natural disasters.             
• Those in formation, particularly our novices, postulants and LTSR sisters and those waiting for visas and work permits.

• World peace that harmony and goodwill exist amongst all.

• The dignity of human life at all stages be recognized and honoured by societies.
