XXI Annual
World Day of the Sick
February 11, 2013

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.

2013 Prayer Cards

As of January 30 we are sold out of all prayer cards. Thank you for your support!

For 2013, the National Association of Catholic Chaplains offered 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.

You may preview the cards below. Click on any image to see it larger.
