To combat the darkness of the occult and Satanic practices in all its forms, the National Council of Catholic Women is organizing a nationwide prayer vigil for the weekend of February 11-13, 2022. During these three days, The Satanic Temple will be hosting an event titled “SatanCon” in Scottsdale Arizona. The group promotes so-called “reproductive rights” (i.e., abortion) and their After-School Satan Club, a chapter of which began in January 2022 in the Moline-Coal Valley school district in Illinois. (Addendum: another club began in Lebanon City Schools (OH) on January 27th.)
To get involved,
people of faith are encouraged to set aside a specific time each day to pray
against the demonic forces that are descending upon Arizona, Illinois, and
anywhere else they are invited in. This is not some casual Halloween prank, but
an intentional spiritual attack launched by The Satanic Temple and its
supporters. If the event organizers feel they are successful in any way, they
will continue holding these events. We must respond with boldness, with
confidence, and with a unified voice to stop them!
As
Catholics, we have the BEST tools for spiritual battle! We have the Rosary, and
we have Jesus Himself in the Most Blessed Sacrament! Because of this, we
invite people to make a special Holy Hour at least once during this weekend
before the Blessed Sacrament if you can. We recognize some people are
unable to go into their Church for reasons of health, transportation, etc., so
please know that we welcome ALL prayers from wherever you are!
We are
asking that people sign up for slots to help us cover all the hours. If
you do not sign up formally but decide to pray intentionally for this Vigil, we
welcome you, too! The time slots on the online list are set to the
Eastern time zone, but Scottsdale AZ is in the Mountain time zone.

NCCW was
founded by the US Bishops in 1920 to provide a common voice for Catholic women
across the country. Our leadership team is reaching out to other Catholic
groups and parishes, as well as non-Catholics to spread the word. We believe
this is an important battle worthy of the attention of every Christian. It is
important to note that we wish no harm would come to any person involved in
this conference, so we ask that all prayer be respectful of the dignity of these
people, misguided though they are. Pray for their conversion, not their demise.
Spread the
word. Join us in prayer. Share the Light of Christ in our darkened world.
Our Lady of
Good Counsel, pray for us.
