Day of Prayer for Life & Family
Join us in a day to pray, be renewed and spiritually
strengthened in the work of defending
life, marriage and the family.
Saturday 19 September, 2026 | 10am – 4pm
St Michael’s Catholic Church
6 Beatrice Road | Remuera | Auckland
The challenges facing human life, marriage and the family can sometimes feel overwhelming. But our response cannot simply be to work harder. It must begin with Christ.
Join us for a special Day of Prayer for Life and Family with Fr Shenan J. Boquet, President of Human Life International — a day set aside to pray, celebrate Holy Mass, be spiritually renewed and reflect on the deeper spiritual battle surrounding the defence of life and family.
Be strengthened for the mission
Father Boquet will offer spiritual talks drawing us back to the foundations of the call to defend and protect life, marriage and the family: prayer, faith, courage, and complete trust in God.
Together, we will pray for the protection of human life, for marriages and for families, for our nation, and for the grace to faithfully carry out the work that God has placed before each of us.
The day will include:
⚜ Holy Mass
⚜ Eucharistic Adoration
⚜ Spiritual talks from Father Boquet
⚜ Reflection on the Spiritual Battle
⚜ Time for fellowship and encouragement
Who is this day for?
You do not need to be involved in organised pro-life work to come.
This day is for anyone who cares about life and the family and wants to respond more deeply to the challenges of our time.
If you have been working, praying or witnessing for life and for the family for many years, come and be renewed.
If you are wondering what part you can play, come and be encouraged.
If you simply recognise that our families and our country need prayer, come and pray with us.
