What is this event about?
24-hour Fast and Pray is our annual fundraising event to pray for those suffering on the street and in the world, and to raise funds for the homeless.
This year, our theme is on mental health. We offer our hunger especially for those with mental illness. Many of our street friends struggle with mental health issues. We may have loved ones who suffer from delusion, anxiety and fear. Starting on September 18 at 6pm, we will fast and pray for 24 hours, asking God to heal them and also for our personal intentions.
"Ask and you will receive." - Matthew 7:7
Let's place our trust in God. By fasting and making sacrifices together, we can help our loved ones overcome their mental health and other challenges.
The program includes Masses, Adoration and Confession, social/bonding time, talks, group prayer, private prayer time, and group sharing. We will end the Fast with food and sharing of our experiences.
Funds raised will be used for the ongoing operation of our homeless ministry.
Who can join?
Young adults aged 19 to 39 are welcome.
How to fast?
It's up to you how you would like to fast. We suggest fasting on bread and water or on liquid diet (e.g. water with honey). If your health does not allow you to Fast the usual way, you may still participate by simply abstaining from some of your favorite foods, social media or your cell phone altogether. So, everyone can do it!
