St Bakhita Day in Hungary, 8th of February 2019.
On the occasion of St. Bakhita Day in Budapest, H.E. Revd. Michael August Blume, svd, Papal Nuncio to Hungary, will open a Prayer Service jointly organised by the Religious sisters and colleagues at SOLWODI Hungary and their brothers from the local Jesuit community. RENATE member Gabriella Legradi sends us a Flier of the Prayer service as attached.
Following the opening prayers by the Nuncio, a policewoman from Máriabesnyő will speak about the crime of Human Trafficking and its impact not only on the victims, but also on their families, the local community and wider society.
It will be an opportunity to share about the Solwodi Association in general and the collaborative work undertaken to combat Human Trafficking and support survivors.
The prayer service will conclude with some time for quiet reflection and private prayer, followed by Holy Mass.
You can see the link on the website following the service.
