The third “Catholic Prayer for America” Gala has taken place in Washington DC. Held on 19 March at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, DC, on the feast of St Joseph, the event was organised by Catholics for Catholics, a group founded in 2022 which describes its mission as promoting the evangelisation of the United States through prayer, media and political engagement.
In its official material, Catholics for Catholics stated: “Prayer is at the heart of what makes America great. Throughout our history we have seen the power of prayer at work, and we need Catholics united to pray for the future of our great nation.” The statement added that from “the frozen hills of Valley Forge to the overflowing churches on the morning of D-Day 1944, Americans have knelt down in prayer to beseech the Almighty for help.”
