From September 21^st 2010 (UN International Day of Peace) and January 1^st 2011 (World Day of Prayer – Catholic Church) Solidarity with Southern Sudan (SSS) in collaboration with:

• Catholic Relief Services (CRS)

• Sudan Catholic Bishops’ Conference (SCBC)

• Catholic Aid for Overseas Development (CAFOD)

is initiating a prayer campaign for peace in Sudan called “101 Days of Prayer for a Peaceful Referendum in Sudan.”

During the 101 days many prayer and peace-building activities are being planned within Sudan. We invite the international community to join in solidarity with the people of Sudan at this important time in their history.

Please join with us and invite members of religious congregations, dioceses, parishes, schools, families, friends, JPIC and other networks to do so. The peace prayer, a booklet of prayers and reflections and other materials will be available shortly on the Solidarity with Southern Sudan website: www.solidarityssudan.org
