ANSONIA - The Mayor’s Office welcomes all to celebrate the 66th National Day of Prayer with a public observance scheduled for May 4 in Veterans’ Memorial Park adjacent to City Hall on Main Street.
The observance will take place from 6-7:30 p.m., rain or shine.
In the event of rain, it will be moved to the Aldermanic Chambers in City Hall.
This observance is a result of the joint resolution in the United States Congress in 1952, signed into law by President Harry S. Truman.
“Prayer gatherings will be taking place all day and evening throughout our nation,” said Mayor David S. Cassetti. “I encourage all residents to stop by Veterans’ Park and enjoy a moment of prayer.”
The Governor’s Proclamation will be read by Cassetti.
“We are very thankful to have Ansonia residents Pat and Larry Boemmels as National Day of Prayer local organizers,” said Cassetti.
This marks the fourth annual National Day of Prayer at Veterans’ Park.
The 2017 theme is:
For Your Great Name’s Sake! Hear Us…Forgive Us…Heal Us
