World Day of the Sick
Annual World Day of the Sick: February 11
The National Association of Catholic Chaplains has developed resources to help with the planning and celebration of World Day of the Sick. The resources include suggestions and prayers that can be used by individuals as well as by dioceses, parishes, health care institutions, and other organizations.
NACC World Day of the Sick Prayer Cards
For over twenty years the NACC has published prayer cards for World Day of the Sick, for use in hospitals, hospices, long-term care facilities, parishes, and for anyone else interested in the spiritual needs of sick persons and caregivers. While we no longer print and distribute physical cards, the printable cards (in PDF format) are freely available on our website and we encourage members and other caregivers to download, print, share, use them!
