(ST. PAUL, MN – August 6, 2007) The World Apostolate
of Fatima USA Children’s Program Children
of the Eucharist will host its fifth
annual Worldwide Children’s Holy Hour
at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the
Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC, on
First Friday, October 5, 2007.
Once again the worldwide event will broadcast Live via
the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) at 10:00
AM (EST). Most
Reverend Robert William Finn, D.D., of Kansas City ~
St. Joseph, will lead the Children’s
Holy Hour of prayer.
You
can view Most Reverend Bishop Finn’s LIVE invitation
here.
Irish singer Dana will lead the children in their theme
song: We are the Children of the World, Answering His
Call.
The Children of the Eucharist program
invites and encourages bishops, parish pastors, school
principals and families around the globe to plan "little
pilgrimages" to their local shrines, diocesan cathedrals,
parish churches and chapels, as they gather the school
children and all the children of the world before the
Most Blessed Sacrament, to pray the “World Mission
Rosary” for peace in our families and the world.
We are hopeful, that corporations and people
of influence and means will come forward
and help this Eucharistic Children’s Movement,
"Children of the Eucharist" move into the
mainstream, which will then spiritually benefit all
the children of the world.
