Palm Sunday prayers for Iraq

PRAYERS WERE offered for the people of war-torn Iraq during Palm Sunday services at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in San Fernando.

Parish priest Fr Clyde Harvey told worshippers Palm Sunday was an occasion to remember children and the children of Iraq who were facing war, especially those injured, should be remembered by every Catholic. Those who suffer the loss of their parents, he added, but especially those who were at the various hospitals nursing injuries.  Fr Harvey also called on the congregation to remember the injured soldiers of the coalition forces. He singled out the United States, England and Australia as having suffered many casualities.
