The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the second Sunday of January, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation. It was decreed in 2005 by an Executive Council resolution of the then Island Territory of Sint Maarten, and became part and parcel of the annual cultural calendar of program and activities.
The National Day of Prayer Committee’s mission is to communicate with every individual the need for personal repentance and prayer, mobilizing the Christian community to intercede for St. Martin and its leadership in the seven centers of power: Government, Law enforcement, Media, Business, Education, Church and Family.
The Minister of Education, Culture, Sports and Youth Affairs Hon. Patricia Lourens-Philip hereby encourages the general public to participate in the National Day of Prayer to intercede for St. Maarten’s leaders and the entire population as we begin a New Year.
