Events and Observances: World Day of the Sick
XVIII Annual
World Day of the Sick
February 11, 2010

The National Association of Catholic Chaplains has developed resources to help with the planning and celebration of World Day of the Sick. The resources include suggestions and prayers that can be used by individuals as well as by dioceses, parishes, health care institutions, and other organizations.

 

2010 Prayer Cards

For 2010, the National Association of Catholic Chaplains will offer two separate prayer cards for World Day of the Sick: Prayer for the Caregiver and Prayer of the Sick or Suffering. On both cards, the prayer appears in English on one side of the card and in Spanish on the reverse.
