On St. Bakhita Day, Friday, February 8th, the outreach team in Prague carried out a regular visit to local nightclubs, reaching out to those in need of comfort and hope. That evening, two establishments were visited, and gifts were distributed—beautifully crafted bags featuring original handmade angel decorations, along with a Bible verse. As always, informational leaflets with essential contact details and support resources were also provided.
At the first club, the visit was brief, with conversations taking place with the women, followed by a short prayer. However, in the second venue, an opportunity arose to organize a meaningful communal prayer. Holding hands, prayers were offered for families, personal struggles, and above all, for healing and deliverance from anything that may be binding them. The women expressed deep gratitude for this moment of connection and faith. The outreach team also left feeling thankful, recognizing the blessing of having an uninterrupted space to share this prayer.
Strengthening Prevention Efforts.
As part of ongoing prevention programs, Sr. Klara Marie was honored to be invited to give a four-hour lecture to foster families in late January as part of their training course (Cestou Necestou; Training Program).
The importance of speaking directly to parents of children from vulnerable social backgrounds, as well as to girls from diagnostic institutions, remains vital. These young individuals are among those most at risk of exploitation and human trafficking. Raising awareness and providing education in these settings is crucial in preventing future harm and ensuring these children and young women receive the protection and support they need.
On this St. Bakhita Day, trust is placed in her intercession, with prayers that all those in need—women and girls alike—may live lives of dignity, free from fear and oppression.
With prayers and gratitude,
Sr. Klara Marie
