Pray In May
Pray for the children we feed
Since our humble beginnings, Mary’s Meals – named after Mary, the mother of Jesus – has been built on a foundation of prayer and the many little acts of love from those who support us.
Throughout the month of May we invite you to pray with us that our work continues to flourish and grow, and that more children will see their lives transformed by receiving our nutritious school meals.
