2026 National Catholic Prayer Breakfast from Washington DC | March 19, 2026

Описание: The 2026 National Catholic Prayer Breakfast is celebrating the Catholic Contribution to America's 250 years. Featuring guest speakers Jonathan Roumie, Michael Knowles, Brad Birzer, and more. The National Catholic Prayer Breakfast (NCPB) was established in 2004 in response to Saint John Paul II’s call for a New Evangelization. Each year, over 1,000 people gather in our nation’s capital to pray for our country. In 2020, the event was held virtually due to the COVID pandemic. An impressive list of speakers highlights a program that attracts lay and religious leaders, national figures, Catholic apostolates, and guests from a variety of sectors and backgrounds. The event is non-partisan, and anyone is welcome to attend. Several side-events are offered each year to further enhance the spirit of the gathering.
