Then with renewed hope we must motivate, educate, and mobilize against HIV/AIDS.” stated Franciscan Father Jim Goode.
The National African
American
Catholic
HIV/AIDS Task Force has invited the Catholic community throughout this nation to
join the Black Church in the BLACK CHURCH WEEK OF PRAYER FOR THE HEALING OF
AIDS, which will be held from March 3- 9, 2002.
“The Balm in Gilead’s Chief Executive Officer, Pernessa C. Seele, founded
the Black Church Week of Prayer for the Healing of AIDS in 1989.
“Please encourage the parishes,
schools, and outreach centers to set aside a time for prayer for all those
affected by HIV/AIDS. The Task
Force asks that we continue the special prayer for the healing of AIDS during
the Lenten and Easter seasons. Please pray for all those who suffer from
HIV/AIDS, their families, for the medical professionals and all those who care
for the sick.”
