Galaxy Leader Mass and Prayer Vigil

Please join us on 19th November 2024 for a special Mass and prayer vigil marking the one-year anniversary of the hijacking of the Galaxy Leader. On this day in 2023, Houthi forces seized the car carrier in the Red Sea, taking its 25 crew members hostage.

Stella Maris will be holding this service to pray for and stand in solidarity with the seafarers from the Galaxy Leader and their families, offering comfort and support as the crew continue to endure captivity. We will also pray for all seafarers who have faced threats and attacks while carrying out their vital work, as well as for peace and stability in the region.

This is an opportunity to come together in reflection and prayer, remembering those who remain in danger and praying for their safe release.

Date: 19th November 2024

Venue: Church of St Anselm and St Cecilia, Kingsway, London WC2A 3JA

Time: 7pm
