July 30 - Human Trafficking Day

Monday, July 30 is World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.  The attachedToolkit has a materials for the observance of this day. 

Suggested Intercessions for Prayer: 

For all Catholics, that God inspire them to take action in their local communities to support and protect survivors of human trafficking
For an end to human trafficking, that the dignity of all of God’s children will be protected
For survivors of human trafficking, that they might find the support they need to start a new life
For policy makers in our nation, that God grants them the wisdom to enact laws that provide greater protection for victims and survivors of human trafficking
For perpetrators of slavery, that they repent of their evil ways and turn to God for forgiveness
For our neighbors, coworkers, friends, fellow Christians, and all people, that they may increase in their awareness of the problem of human trafficking and become a voice in the public square calling for its abolition

We have posters and leaflets on trafficking.  Let Susan Ledesma or me know and we will gladly mail them out to you.
