On Thursday, June 30, we will petition Saint Junipero Serra (July 1). He is known as the “Apostle of California” for his missionary work and dedication to the salvation of the people entrusted to his care. At this Holy Hour, we will pray for the re-evangelization of the Americas under his patronage.
On Thursday, July 7, we will look forward to the anniversary of the death of Rose Hawthorne (July 9). She founded a religious community dedicated to the care of poor incurable cancer patients and is also known as Servant of God Mother Mary Alphonsa, O.P. We will pray for her Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne at this Holy Hour.
