For several years now, members of national teams and the international office of the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network have been meeting virtually to share experiences, initiatives, exchange information, and strengthen the mission in various parts of the world.

Every month Pope Francis entrusts his Worldwide Prayer Network with prayer intentions that express his great concerns for humanity and for the mission of the Church.

Fr. Cristóbal Fones SJ, International Director of the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network, recently completed an apostolic journey through the Asia Pacific region, strengthening ties with local communities and national teams while promoting the mission of the Network and its international initiatives: The Way of the Heart, Click To Pray, and The Pope Video.

We thank Pope Francis for his closeness, love, and words of encouragement to his Worldwide Prayer Network.

From January 21 to 25, the Meeting of the International Council of the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network is taking place in Rome. This event brings together continental coordinators and members of the Vatican international office to reflect on the mission of the Prayer Network in different continents and plan activities for the coming year.

Pope Francis welcomed the team from the international office, the continental coordinators, permanent collaborators of the Worldwide Prayer Network, and the ambassadors of the Pro-Rete Mondiale di Preghiera del Papa Foundation to the Apostolic Palace
