PURPOSE
The goal of the Apostolate is to provide an avenue for the laity particularly, but not exclusively, to show and express compassion, through messages of consolation and assurances of prayers, to priests who have lost a loved one.
OUR STORY
Mrs. Lorie Sage formed the Towel of Veronica Apostolate following the death of Fr. Evan Harkins, a priest of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, in January of 2020. Members of the Apostolate strive to pray for priests who lose a loved one, offer assurances of those prayers, and pray together as an apostolate Four times a year on the feast days of the Apostolate's Patrons (see ACTIONS and PATRON SAINTS to learn more) and in November for a Mass of Remembrance.
×´The LORD is close to the brokenhearted, saves those whose spirit is crushed."
PSALM 34:19
