The Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP), which is composed of over 1,400 Catholic schools, launched on July 17 a 14-day prayer for peace initiative for Marawi City and other areas in the Philippines where there are conflicts as well.
CEAP’s member schools will offer prayers, other intentions, observe moments of silence and help in efforts to rebuild Marawi, which has been besieged by fighting between government troops and members of the Maute terrorist group since May 23.
