Juneteenth Audio Reflection: Bearers of Peace
from Catholic Health Prayers and Reflections Hosted by Catholic Health Association of the United States
CHA is pleased to offer this audio reflection to honor and celebrate Juneteenth, which commemorates the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States. The holiday was first celebrated in Texas, where, on June 19, 1865, General Granger read General Order Number 3, which declared all who were enslaved free. As we join our hearts in prayer, we renew our commitment to working for justice and remember our call to be bearers of peace.
